Notes on Hats

On hats and their symbolism: From Dictionary of Symbols: Hat According to Jung, the hat, since it covers the head, generally takes on the significance of what goes on inside it: thought.

Jung also points out that, since the hat is the ‘crown’ and summit of an...

Donald Barthelme - Rebecca

Rebecca by Donald Barthelme Rebecca Lizard was trying to change her ugly, reptilian, thoroughly unacceptable last name. "Lizard," said the judge. "Lizard, Lizard, Lizard, Lizard.

Birds can carry and deliver informed messages (sometimes literally on paper) without causing a direct threat. (Hitchcock's The Birds being one exception) or angelic spy -- a neither necessarily friendly nor nece...

Pulp Fiction metaphor for Holland

Is Mia's visiting Amsterdam a metaphorical expression of going to Los Angeles? The real world one I mean. Mia allows herself to go into her self-exploration mode in the opposite way that we do in the real world. Our entertainment retreat - the film world - becomes Mia's and Vincent's work world -- their real world is in the story. But for us it's the reverse: we go to work and live our dramatic lives, while Mia visits her dream world (our real world) as Uma Thurman. is Holland: HAL landHO...
