Natasha’s pink headphones symbolize the American Dream, hope, and love. They were purchased for Natasha by her father when she was young as a way of alluding to the coming American Dream the family would have. Hope was in their future, her father argued, and the headphones became symbolic of hope and love as a result. The headphones are Natasha’s constant companions for years until they are cracked when Daniel saves her life. When they are cracked, this can be taken as a sign of irony that Natasha’s American Dream may be ending (the shattering of the headphone is the shattering of the Dream), but in reality, it simply signals the beginning of a new kind of dream.
