Symbolism questionnaires

1. What are some of the symbols in the story?

A: The symbols in this story are the places they visited. To my, London represents money and success. Cornwall represents home, family, and love. These are the main symbols in the story that I can spotted clearly.

2.Are there any objects which seem to have a symbolic meaning? What are their meanings?
A: There are no objects in the story that have a symbolic meaning. I don’t see any object would symbolic any meaning.

3. Do any people act as symbols in the story? What do they represent?
A: Godfrey represents the good guy who sacrifices his happiness for his lover. And Allan is a bad guy who isn’t that evil. It’s just like another guy that took the heroine away. This story doesn’t really have any people act as symbols.

4. Do aspects of the story’s setting seem symbolic? In what way?
A: First would be London. London represents money and success. When Lalla went to London to work and engage, she also got into fame, success, and money which get her lost. She didn’t go to what she really wanted. Cornwall represents home, family, and true love. Lalla came back to Cornwall because she knew that at London, there are the things that she doesn’t really want. But then in Cornwall, she knew that there is something she really wanted such as family and Godfrey, her true love.

5. Is one symbol used throughout the story or do the symbols change?
A: The symbol of the places doesn’t change. London is still the place where Lalla doesn’t really feel good and happy there. At the start of the story, Cornwall is the place where she is comfortable with and is the place where she feels happy and enjoys most. At the end of the story, Cornwall still symbolize as the place where Lalla is happy and find what she wants the most.
