Key Symbols

• A student sits bolt upright in bed, with her hands over her face. She seems haunted and overwhelmed.

• She may be suffering from an array of past hurts and injustices, or the overwhelming burden of anxiety, worry, suspicion, and fear.

• Her long white nightgown seems to suggest that she is an innocent victim of a cruel fate.

• In the inky blackness of the night, the nine swords on the wall seem larger than life.

• They float parallel to the bed, like rungs on a ladder. She’ll have to climb out of bed to escape the darkness of this night.

• The bed itself is symbolic. Most lives are conceived in a bed. Most women give birth in a bed, and most lives end in a bed, too.
