Patterns In Literature and Elements
"Where I remember so many winter fires burning" (Rosnay 10).
In this line I noticed two very symbolic words: winter and fire.
Season: winter
Time of day: night
Stage of life: old
Symbolism: symbolic end or death.
- The word "winter" suggests that someone- perhaps the narrator- is going to have a symbolic end or death. I predict that maybe the narrator is going to leave her selfish husband soon.
Element: Fire
Personality Trait: action oriented
Literary Symbolic Significance: symbol of transformation and regeneration. Purification and destruction of evil.
- The word "fire" proposes that there is going to be a lot of action which could lead to a transformation in the story, probably for the worse.
Good application but can you take it further? Be specific to the characters and plotlines of the novel so far.
