The handkerchief also has the power to talk to the princess. This is another sign of it having power because it is like the handkerchief is a part of the queen’s thoughts, which tells it’s readers that it is an extension of herself. Also, the color of white on the handkerchief could symbolize purity or starting something new. We can see her start something new when she marries the prince from a different country. Not only does she start a new life but she also leaves her old life and the queen behind with in her old kingdom. We can also see the number of three reoccurring throughout the story. One example of this is when the princess walks through the gateway three times with the flock of geese, and every time Fallada’s head would speak to

  • Personification In The Scarlet Letter

    What exactly is this secondary community? Hawthorne creates this sort of secondary community that is always there and is able to express emotions that are the very opposite of what the Puritans show by using nature. “Nature personification, for Hawthorne, is an effective vehicle with which to bridge the gap between the community of humankind and the community of nature” (Daniel 3). Hester and Pearl are outcasts from the Puritan society due to Hester’s sin. She broke their rules of morality, and for this reason nature must be used as their peer. “Mother and daughter stood together in the same circle of seclusion from society” (Hawthorne 78) and so, it is nature who lends a hand and helps.

  • Essay On Symbolism In Trifles

    In this particular play the rope symbolizes death and destruction. Death is one of the main points symbolizing the rope because there is death throughout the play. The death of the bird is the starting point. When Mr. Wright kills the bird, it kills Mrs. Wright on the inside. It is like she has just lost her best friend. Considering all the isolation she had, the bird probably was her best friend. “She like the bird. She was going to bury it in that pretty box” (Glaspell 261). This quote shows how much Mrs. Wright cared for the bird. If she did not care about it, she probably would have just tossed it away outside or in the trash. However, she cared for it so much that she was going to use her beautiful sewing box to bury the bird in. The next significant death is the one of Mr. Wright. When Mr. Wright died, Mrs. Wright gained her freedom back. Having to be kept from society, and never having any children or company other than Mr. Wright meant that Mrs. Wright had lost her freedom. Now thirty years later married to Mr. Wright, she knew she could only gain her freedom back if he were

  • Transitions And Reality Of Love In Ralph Waldo Emerson's 'Amulet'

    784 Words  | 2 Pages

    For the structure of The Amulet Emerson uses different instances of past and present tense, which allows the reader to understand the past, so they can understand the relevance of the present. “Your picture smiles as first it smiled,” and “The ring you gave is still the same,” by providing the reader this information, it illustrates that the poem has some historical perspective that is important to analyze. This helps to solidify that love was once present between the speaker and his lover. Emerson also uses the form of a free verse poem, which benefits The Amulet because it allows Emerson to use the words he wishes to display his message without having to follow a direct rhyme scheme.

    In the play Trifles, Minnie Wright is accused of murdering her husband. Although, most of the evidence is circumstantial and hearsay; the motive is never determined by the authorities. However, some evidence to prove her guilt would have been her strange attitude, her error in stitching the quilt, the dented birdcage, the dead canary, and the witness testimony of Mr. and Mrs. Hale. Also, there was no evidence of a break-in or any burglary and the rope was their personal property (Kirszner & Mandell, 2012).
