Snow Falling on Cedars, by David Guterson, is an emotional story in
which we see the life of a man who could not move on and a woman that did. The
man, Ishmael, is hopelessly in love with the woman, Hatsue. ...
He holds on to Hatsue because of his feelings for her, even after he gains the
knowledge that it is extremely improbable that he could ever be with her.
Hatsue is much more logical and rational with her feelings. She saw her love
with Ishmael for what it was. ... She moved on with her life, whereas
Ishmael could not. ... He met
Hatsue as a child, and formed the idea that he loved her through his limited
knowledge and through his adolescent view of relationships. ... In the simplest sense of the word, he loved Hatsue.
Hatsue was the second to think she fell in love. She reacted to Ishmael.
When they kissed on the boat, she did not think as much of it as Ishmael. ... Her initial intent was to extend friendship towards Ishmael.
