Sybolism in this novel.

There is alot of symbolism in this novel I think. The ghosts and otheer inhabitants in the graveyard symbolis Bods family, or family in general. The White flowers in the town symbolis the unity among a certain group of people. Also, the Macabray dance symbolises the connection between the living and the dead. These are good representtions of each of the things in peoples everyday lives. Did you find another thing symbolised in this novel?
