The works by Thomas Wolfe are full of unrestrained feelings and great momentum. The author’s subjective feeling is strong. He employs the techniques of suggestion and symbolism to affect his readers. In the story April, Late April, the hero ceaselessly praises his lover, using appetite, dishes and fruit to express his strong passion, while the heroine is enthusiastically involved in it. The author uses gorgeous language to depict every act and move and every twinkle and smile of the heroine. Every part of “her” body is connected with all the beautiful things in the world. It forms a striking contrast with those indifferent things in the eyes of the hero.
