- The Snow Child
- "Glittering pelts of black foxes"
- symbolic of slyness
- "Shining boots with scarlet heels, and spurs"
- Controlling woman - but only in control when sexualised by her clothing
- "Fresh snow fell on snow already fallen"
- snow reveals and hides evil. Colour represents purity
- "I wish I had a girl as red as blood"
- Links to gothic genre
- Harsh image that foreshadows what is to come
- "Midwinter - Invincible - Immaculate."
- Pathetic fallacy
- immaculate reflects snow and untouched virgin
- "White skin, red mouth, black hair"
- Imagery creates a paradox between purity of white, seductiveness of red and the evil of black
- "He thrust his virile member into the dead girl"
- Necrophilia
- "Bloodstain like the trace of a foxes kill on the snow"
- Portrays Count as a predator
- "She was the child of his desire and the countess hated her".
- Femme Fatale struggling for power
- "Picks a rose; pricks her finger on the thorn; bleeds; screams; falls."
- loss of innocence (virginity). Mocks love as the rose, brings about the girls downfall.
- "Glittering pelts of black foxes"
