What is the importance of the book, Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship by Herman Goethe, in the novel, All This Could Be Different?

Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, a novel by Herman Goethe, is a symbol throughout the novel of Sneha's desire to come into an authentic understanding of herself as a person. The plot of the novel involves a young boy who wants to be an artist but struggles against the desires that his parents have for him, a clear parallel to Sneha's own struggles to embrace her queerness given that her parents disapprove of it. As such, the novel—which returns toward the end of All This Could Be Different—functions as an important mirror for Sneha's own personal development.
