Into The Woods's Into The Woods

For instance, when Rose Mary left a piano outside, she expressed that “Most pianists never get the chance to play in the great out-of-doors” (33), or, when Jeannette told Rose Mary that she cannot live happily being vagrant, Rose Mary told her, “Why not? Being homeless is an adventure” (161). Therefore, the Joshua tree’s management to stay alive through turbulent climate compares and symbolizes Rose Mary’s optimistic character. When life threw lemons towards the Joshua tree in the form of wind and sand, the Joshua tree made lemonade by creating a mutualistic connection amongst itself and nature by growing sideways. The life of the Joshua tree points out how good always outshines bad which is what made it “one of the most beautiful trees [Rose Mary] had ever seen” (21) due to the way it continued to flourish in spite of the hindrances it has overcome, thus alluding to the hopeful and trusting personality Rose Mary

The ‘undertone’ of the island with comparison to the ‘susurration of the boys’ blood’ gives it an additional life-like quality. The boys wouldn’t be damaging just vegetation, but it’s like they’re slaughtering a existing, breathing equity.

The “surprising and puzzling” (Carlin, 2017:771) nature of the Monster’s ‘three tales’ in the novel are vital in their conveyance of the complex and sometimes cruel realities of life – or as the Monster declares, the fact that “Stories don’t always have happy endings” (144). The first tale begins like a conventional fairy-tale, employing the tropes of an ‘evil witch’ and the ‘good prince’. When the Monster has told the first tale, like Conor, we are led to believe that the Queen was punished by the Monster and are confused when we learn that this is not the case. Ness forces us to understand the nature of reality as no poetic justice is delivered by the end of the tale, and does not give the tale a restoration of order as the prince goes unpunished as in life, there is no guarantee that the innocent are always rewarded and the guilty
