Before reading the third chapter of “The Forest and the Trees”, I remember learning in the second chapter about symbolism, ideology and the construction of life in different cultures and societies around the world. For example, something interesting I remember learning was how every social system has a culture, consisting primarily of symbols (including words), ideas and practices. I believe this also connects and refers to how we tend to build our own sense of reality through the words and ideas that we use to mean something and people may use to name interpret what they experience and how cultures consist of symbols of ideas or words being portrayed. Based on what I read in the second chapter and the title of the third chapter, “The Structures

In the short story “The Thing in the Forest” by A.S Byatt, the author introduces the thing as dark, ominous and has a very putrid smell that is almost like a representation of death. The thing in the forest lurks and wanders around the forest next to a house filled with children that have been sent there because they have been evacuated from their town. I believe that the thing represents or would symbolize many things, and also considering the time frame the story was written in pre-world war era I would say that the story probably represent the death or the decay of the men that fought in the war. Also I believe that the thing symbolizes something literal like an injured soldier that tried to get the attention of the girls that wandered the forest. Lastly, In parts of the story I gives you some indication of the thing and it makes the thing sound like it might be any army closing in on a country or city cause the thing came in “waves”. So the thing might be a wave of scary putrid smelling soldiers that sound and looks like death.

In many fairytales, we are given characters who set out on an adventure to better themselves whether they know that they are on one or not. In A.S. Byatt’s “The Thing in the Forest” we are taken on such an adventure, but this is more than just a children’s fairytale. Through figurative language we are shown that the main characters, Penny and Primrose, are dealing with more than just a creature in the forest, and that with this use of symbols as a way to express a larger meaning to objects in the story, we better understand how Penny and Primrose are dealing with being away from their family during a time of war in England.

The forest opens up a whole new world. The “path strangled onward into the mystery of the primeval forest” (172). The word mystery is used to show the different sides that the forest can bring out in a character. For some the forest may be a place of sinister thoughts and wrong doing but for others it’s a place to express their freedom. Mister Hibbins is a witch and does her practices in the forest. One day, as Hester

The woman in this story is in the woods and alone. The woods illustrate her fears and insecurities. She is very isolated. Even her faithful dog has died and left her, which is another past experience that shows her abandonment. She is shown to be very afraid of the bear in the woods. She still has not come to terms with her own fears and the loss of her safety and comfort. The bear represents many things to her, some bad and some good. She is aware that the bear seems dangerous and can hurt her, but she seems unaware of how she pictures the bear. In her mind, bears are supposed to be protection, like her teddy bear was. She relates the real bear in the woods and the danger that he poses to her with her lost teddy bear and the feeling of isolation that his loss gave her. The images given by the author of bears are very contradictory. Some of the images are ones of almost human creatures that are far from harming people, but others are pictures of vicious, cold-blooded killers. In the woman's mind, these concepts of bears are all jumbled up. She doesn't know exactly what she thinks of

Into the Woods follows a baker and his wife who have a desire to have children and start a family. They soon learn that their inability to have children is a curse brought upon by a witch. Meanwhile, characters from different fairytales have other personal goals they want to achieve as well. Through certain circumstances, each respective character gets their wishes granted and lived happily ever after, only for consequences to occur afterwards. The story is set in a setting similar to the Middle-Ages, with kingdoms, farmers and a world filled with magic. The story is another fairytale that brings a number of fairytales together and brings in different worlds to merge into one to tell one unique story.
