Résumé ou Introduction
Define these literary terms on the basis of John Cheever’s short story “The Swimmer”.
Allegory: The progression of the seasons is an allegory for Neddy’s personal life. At the
beginning of the story it is a midsummer Sunday. Neddy has a good relationship to
his family and no financial trouble. However, with the change of his life comes the
change from summer to autumn. Just as Neddy does not realize his own downfall,
he does not notice the transition from summer to autumn.
