Abstract
Bu
makale, doğal çevrede imgelerin ve sembollerin insanın iç dünyasını Ann
Beattie’nin “Kar” adlı kısa kısa hikayesinde olduğu vurgulamayı amaçlamaktadır.
Orman benzeri bir mekanın derinliklerinde, soğukluk, iki sevgiliyi huzur olma
ve dinlenme için çekmektedir. Kullanılan dil bu soğuk havayı hissettirir.
Hikayenin sonunda, kar küreme aracı orada yaşayan insanların iç dünyasındaki
karanlıkları temizlercesine karı temizlemektedir. Kullanılan dilde saklanan
sırlar varmışcasına şairane bir anlatım vardır. Erkek sevgili, arkadan “Neden
böyle oldu?” sorularını bırakarak isimsiz kadını birden terk eder. Yaşanılan
ev, sadece üç şey barındırarak saklanılan mesajları yansıtır: bir kütüphane,
şömine, ve duvar kağıdı. Kar, kar küreme aracı, şömine bir bütün olarak açık
uçlu kısa kısa hikayenin içerisinde derinlerde şiirsel mesajları
yansıtmaktadır.

Abstract
This
article intends to highlight how the usage of images and symbols reflect the
inner psyche of individuals in the natural setting as in Ann Beattie’s “Snow.”
The coldness in the depths of the forest like setting pulls two lovers to the
landscape to have a rest and happiness. The language spent sounds all the
coldness. At the end, the snowplow scraps all the snow outside as if cleaning
the darkness of the inner psyches of individuals living there. The language
used is poetic enough to keep all the secrets in itself. The male lover
abruptly leaves the female lover by creating the questions to find the reasons
for departing. The house they accomodate reflects all the hidden messages
having solely three belongings: a library, a fireplace and a wallpaper. The snow,
snowplow, ice, cold water, fireplace sound coldness as a whole in the context
of the open-ended short short story which reflects poetic messages in depth.
