The ultimate resignation that they no longer have use of her, the dwarves give a “glass” (140) girl to an unfamiliar man they pity. Snow White seemingly represents no more than an item of commerce; they give her away because they cannot revive her.  Sexton describes a virgin having “cheeks as fragile as cigarette paper,/ arms and legs made of Limoges,/ lips like Vin Du Rhône” (3-5).  She associates said virgin with different commercial goods thereby objectifying her.  Snow White is a virgin in the story, and because virgins represent objects, she becomes used like one, first by the Queen as an object of envy, by the dwarves as a housekeeper, and by the Prince as a beautiful gift.  When the dwarves first see her they call her “a good omen” (73) who “will bring (them) luck” (74).  Initially they do not even see her as human, instead referring to her as “it” (73).  Both the Queen and the Prince only see her beauty, one finds it a threat, the other simply longs for it.  Perhaps Sexton objectifies Snow White, the virgin, because it suits her and because it reflects what society already does.
