Symbolism

I think that there is a lot of hidden symbolism in She's Come Undone and even though I personally don't like Dolores but I like the book a lot. It's what you call different. I think that Dolores' weight issue is a symbol (a hidden one). She seems to have an eating disorder: binge eating or something like that. I'm not too sure what the scientific name for it is. She seems to eat a lot when she's upset or angry, but whenever she's happy which is weird, she's jumping all about and running around. I think that her battle with weight is actually a symbol of depression and low self-esteem. People with low self-esteem always think that the world is on their shoulders.

I think tha the other possible symbol in this book is one that I personally see but isn't necessarily--just know that I created it, okay? I think a good symbol is the bone and skull symbol. Why? Well, because she's dangerous to not only herself but everyone. She smokes, takes no responsibility, cares less about her health and her grades stink. Seriously, be for real. *_* You always see this symbol on tanks of deadly gas or places where no one but trained personnel can enter. That has Dolores written all over it. I think that she has the makings of great person with a great life despite the death of her mom and other sad events in her life, if she'd just care more. Dolores isn't always that bad. But she could be better.
