Theme and Symbol in Ethan Frome

In addition to the two women, Ethan Flom is very confused. He tried to find "easy and free" things represented by Marti, but society did not allow him to do so. Instead, society forces him to accept the burden of expressing him in the form of Zeena, which implies the destruction of his life. Social pressure blindly opposed Ethan at all turning points, whether in traditional ethical form or in other forms, and made his action "like a bastard chain" ( p.3). For example, noticing that he did not even have the money to bring Mattie to the west, Ethan began walking to Starkfield to ask the village carpenter Andel Hale about the progress of wood.
