What is the relation between the women and the cat in Cat in the Rain by Ernest Hemingway?
In Cat In The Rain, the cat symbolizes how human beings are often faced with larger, more hostile forces than they can contend with on their own. The cat also symbolizes the situation of the women in her relationship. The women seek love, comfort, companionship and nurturing from her husband which she does not receive. She, therefore, like the cat “was trying to make herself so compact that she would not be dripped on”.
