Judging from the view of his skill in employing metaphors in A&P‚ John Updike is certainly a professional of short sarcastic story. Throughout the story Updike maneuvers the art of metaphor pretty well‚ from the symbolization of characters‚ the period and the cultural background‚ to the allegorical meaning of the story as a whole. Also‚ he imitates many details from Hawthorne’s Young Goodman Brown‚ for example‚ the place where the story takes place‚ metaphors of the color of Queenie’s two-pieces

Interpretation of a short story Although I find the story A&P by John Updike to be entertaining with some comedic interplay‚ I mostly see this story as a teenage drama that is played out through the eyes of a young man named Sammy. This is a story set in the early 1960’s of a typical teenage boy’s indifferent feelings toward his job‚ until one particular afternoon. John Updike’s development of characters and his use of diction and imagery are great elements that make this story entertaining
