It may be Steinbeck's interpretation of the contrast between men and women. It appears that his idea was: Men represent reason; Women represent nature.

One criticism of "The Snake" by John Steinbeck is that it is seen as overly simplistic in its portrayal of good and evil, with the snake representing evil and the man representing good. Some also argue that the moral lesson presented in the story is heavy-handed and lacking nuance. Additionally, some critics believe that the allegorical nature of the story limits its depth and complexity.
