Symbolism is an important aspect of many stories. It is used to give the reader a better understanding of the thoughts and the feelings of the characters. Author like Alice Walker in “The Flowers” clearly uses symbolism as a way to connect the character to the reader on different levels. Through a series of several symbols, Walker creates a vivid illustration of Myop's transition from innocence of childhood to the realities of life and all of its cruelties. Walker uses this whole situation of the corpse, flowers and summer to clearly illustrate the precise moment in which a child looses that treasured innocence.
The danger is first introduced by Myop entering the woods. It is in these woods that Myop encounters the single event that will lead to her loss of innocence: finding the corpse of a lynched man. Myop steps, by accident, into the face of this corpse and although frightened continues to remain joyful. Myop clears the remains from the man's face to find all of his white teeth cracked and broken. The description of the body is given in great detailed, “Myop saw that he had large white teeth, all of them cracked or broken, long fingers, and very big bones. All his clothes had rotted away except some threads of blue denim from his overalls” (Walker 405). The detailed description of the body indicates his probable ethnicity which is African-American, like Myop. In addition, the corpse suggest that something that was once white and pure has been broken by the cruel and harsh reality of the world.
Another symbol of innocence is the flowers that Myop happily picks. Flowers are a symbol of innocence because of its beauty and as it is easily broken and delicate as it is a symbol of death. Myop is trying to hang on to her childhood innocence and that she grasps at these flowers when she feels that her innocence may be threatened. For instance, as Myop begins to explore the woods, Walker states the following, The danger is first introduced by Myop entering the woods.
