Boy at the Window In the story, “Boy at the Window,” written by Richard Wilbur, he tells us the story between a snowman and a boy. The snowman and the boy both want to meet, nut they can’t. There is a window separating the two, which represents the irony of the poem. In the story, it says, “Seeing the snowman standing all alone…” the boy wants to be with the snowman. This is half the irony of this poem. The boy wants to be with the snowman, but he can’t go outside. Then, in the story, it says, “The man of snow is, nonetheless, content, having no wish to go inside and die,” which tells us that the snowman wants to go inside with the boy, but he knows he will melt and lose his life. The boy on the other hand, wants the snowman to come to him
