3. Jean Cocteau's snow

Author

Hatte, Jennifer

Subjects
Snow -- Portrayals, Symbolism -- Criticism and interpretation, Poets -- Portrayals, Literature/writing
Abstract

Snow, which is a recurrent symbol in Jean Cocteau's work, is part of a personal mythology that reflects Cocteau's philosophy about poets and poetry. The snow in the first scene of 'Les Enfants terribles,' when analysed in the context of Cocteau's other works, explains aspects of Cocteau's personal mythology. The snow ball in 'Les Enfants terribles' represents the poet Paul being shaken by the core spirit of Dargelos. He feels the impact of that experience at the time of his death. Snow, along with the statue, signifies poetry in that scene.
