Abstract

In the present paper the author analyses the occurrences of "snow" in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and “rain" in "A Farewell to Arms". They denote natural phenomena but their' meanings may also imply semantic properties other than those signifying pure meteorological facts. These particular aspects are discussed in mo-re detail to show the specific contribution of “snow" and rain" to' the psychological integrity of the main characters in the two stories'. One of them takes place in Spain during the Civil War, the other in Italy during World War One.
