Symbolism Behind Weather By: Austin & Margo
Rain • Rain can often be a symbol of restoration • It can wash away all of the past experiences • Rain is a symbol of growth
Thunder and Lightning • Thunder and lightning are the reason that rain receives such a negative feel in most pieces. • Lightning can light up the darkness and show the character the way • Thunder can scare the character and force him/her into submission
Snow (Light) • The Lighter the snow in the text, the lighter the tone. • Light snow can show peace and hope to come in the story
Blizzards • Blizzards have the capability to bring about confusion and break down a character to the lowest of lows
Fog • Fog can show a reader both confusion while building suspense. Fog is looked at as an “unknown” and it toys with the mind of the reader.
Wind • Wind is a connector in stories • Wind connects the living and the dead • Think of a whisper of wind in the ear of a character when they think it is a past friend or family members voice • Wind can transition emotions of a character • Through weather, wind can move a sunny day (happiness) to a cloudy day (dull, dreary) which may bring rain
Sunny • Sun provides warmth and lifts the soul • A symbol of happiness and good things to come • Think of the sun breaking through a cloudy day. • Shows hope of something better on the horizon
Cloudy • Clouds can cover the sun and make a warm day cooler • Clouds are a symbol of darkness and evil • Think of the clouds covering the armies in Lord of the Rings. The Orcs could not have the suns warmth touch them, so clouds covered them in darkness
