In the use of symbolism in nudity‚ Cheever shows that addiction creates a reality where we hide from the real world and eventually destroy our life. Although nudity plays a little role in the story‚ the symbolism of it is major. When Neddy is naked‚ he is exposed to his surroundings. He is vulnerable to everyone around him.
