symbolism

Question 1

what is the symbolism of flowers

Answer 1

Ida is often referred to as ‘lily’ and Pinkies wife is called Rose, this shows that Pinkie does not think of females as human, but instead as flowers, polonys or dolls. Flowers and dolls thus symbolize Pinkie’s conception of women as vacant-minded, frivolous, and powerless.
This is an ironic misconception, given that “Lily” and Rose prove more resilient than Pinkie, who takes his own life.
