In Marina Carr’s By the Bog of Cats, the play opens with the Hester Swane dragging a dead black swan across the stage who, as the audience is about to find out, is going it die in the next twelve hours just like the swan from which she takes her name. Playing a vital role in the audience’s reaction to the piece, names within Carr’s play evoke a sense of destiny as characters full their own prophesies. For instance, Carr choses Carthage Kilbride’s name with distinct purpose. Carthage…

Owls are beautiful creatures that are made by God. Even though they have some negative connotations that are associated with them, they are still held in high regard in other…

The peacock serves to indicate the character’s personality and change in mind. It also juxtaposes the two main characters, Macon Junior and Milkman, to give tension to the overall plot. The peacock first appears as a simile when Macon Junior…

According to signology.org, the bird is said to “symbolize freedom”, as they are able to “soar the earth and sky.” The bird motif is used in Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte, in order to convey how the restraints on human beings, in relation to the status quo, will remain until the day we decide to exercise our independent will.

The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah. The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah. There had been many times when Michael was little that he had heard the ant song, his father playing it to him over and over in the hopes of reminding him of his Muggle side. Now, the lyrics had somehow found their way into his mind, distracting him from the cold rain pelting down on him. Perhaps it was because he felt like an insect, marching with his fellow ants to a destination he could not…
