This is the second blog for my English short story unit. These ten images are symbolisms that are important to the story of "Chef's House". If you haven't read this story yet, go ahead and do so, and then be sure to come back and add your opinion. As I said, each of these ten images are referenced in the story and lead to deeper insight into the story. Each object has symbolism that provides meaning to the story, and here are a few that I've decided to view.
The Wagon
Symbolizes the sobriety of Wes and the only reason to
restart the relationship
Fat Linda
The end of all they had; Wes reverting back to his old self
The House
It was their reconstructed life and repaired marriage
The Ring
Edna's representation of hope. When on, the marriage was stable
The Letters
Edna's connection to the kids as well as Wes' distance from them
The Clouds
Their beginning represented the end of the marriage
The Fish
The intangibles of the relationship; all they had left
"My friend"
The Ocean View
Chef
who allowed them to leave to life their life together with no problem.
- If there were some other symbols I missed or should have explained better, and you have a different opinion on what each symbol means, I'd love to hear t in the comments section.
