Symbolism

SHOEHORN
- most important symbolic object/ significance develops throughout the play
- represent different things to both Sheila and Bridie
- symbol of sacrifices characters made to save each others lives
- present from Bridie's father (represent attachment to home/family)
- Used humorously by Bridie to keep Sheila above in the water as she its her on the head to stop her from drowning (therefore represents the beginning of their bond/mateship. At one level antagonism the other realisation of survival
- represent part of a lie that stops the truth (of Sheila) from coming out, keeps them apart ( used to cover how she got the medicine to save Bridie
- used to keep time in orchestra (metronome)
- allows to maintain humanity/ lifts their spirits “fifty voices and a shoehorn set us free”
- helped burry the dead
- to Bridie (good luck omen)
- to Sheila (symbol of fear, pain and deregulation
- eventually returned to owner – means of reconciliation “the war is over for us”

hey
the question we got last year in our paper was

"On the basis of the distinctive features of your prescribed text, argue for its inclusion in the "top drama" list"

all we had to do was argue why it should be included in the introduction and conclusion. the main body of the essay was based on the "distinctive features" ie. the techniques. wat ever the question is it will in sum way ask u talk about the dramatic techniques used in the play.

so make sure u know the play and techniques and are able to back them up with examples and quotes.
