Symbol: Flowers-Orchid and Rose
Meaning-Roses are beautiful because that is the way people see them, but if you look closer into the rose you see thorns and the negative aspects the rose really has.
Most orchids are white which in the novel, it represents purity, and throughout the novel, the corruption there of.
Quotes-Rose:“He must have looked up at an unfamiliar sky through frightening leaves and shivered as he found what a grotesque thing a rose is and how raw the sunlight was upon the scarcely created grass.”
Orchid:“…an evening dress tangled among dying orchids on the floor beside her bed.”
