And man do teachers make us anaylze everything. sweatdrop I know I hate when they do that I hate when teachers say: "This symbolizes Christ or this symbolizes the stability of the character." Isn't it possible that those things were just put in their by coincidence?

Try being an author and people trying to tell you that something they believe symbolizes a character in your story or an emotion doesn't. They'll try to argue with the author! O_O

I agree with you about the symbols, Izu. For instance, I think Huck Finn is just a long-winded story about a kid growing up. But all of my teachers insist that the river means this, and this character represents this, and these two people represent innocence, and that object symbolizes greed...what if it's just a boring, nearly symbol-less story about a kid growing up? Huh, what's wrong with that? Why must we analyze to no end? gonk

You could practically say in any story their's a christ figure, or that a rock symbolizes stability. They think that the authors MUST have done those intentionally. Shakespeare and Poe are probably rolling over in their graves.

Your comment about the rock made me giggle. xd I'm astonished as to the intuitive-ness in your words. o_o; Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we could ask the author what that character REALLY symbolizes, and then we could cut out the BS from the middle man.

Me intuitive? That's a new one. My character's and stories have no symbolism intended usually. I do use foreshadow though. And if you ask me...some authors wish they wouldn't annalyze quite so much.

I just finished Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire.
I also finished manga wise: Beauty is the Beast Vol. 4, and The Voices of A Distant Star.
I'm getting ready to start New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. She's the author of Twlight. This is the sequel. sweatdrop
