The Road Home: Symbolism



For symbolism I chose to talk about the loom. In the movie I noticed that the minute she meets the Teacher she goes to her loom to start working on a project for his school, then after they are long married and he then passes away, she wants her son to find her loom so she can work on it. I look at this as a form of symbolism of remembrance. When she is happy and think about the teacher she was at her loom, then when she is sad after loosing him she goes to her loom. It is a way for her to hang on to the memories of her husband and her way of grieving for him.
