Symbolism In The Stolen Party

In “The Stolen Party” by Liliana Heker, the author uses symbolism to show how a party can represent a society. Picture this, a whole society in a house described as a party. Including
A monkey that symbolizes something meaningful. On the other hand, the whole story doesn’t include only symbolism, it may also contain repetition. Some say repetition is also an important part of the story. Although Certainly it could be said the passage is known for more of repetition than symbolism, while this is a good point it fails to where symbolism shows more importance in the story than repetition. As a final point symbolism can show a whole society in a party. Picture this, a society described as a party. All starting from the highest point of what’s called a society, to the lowest. One example of symbolism is a monkey known as a worker for the magician. This in fact relates to Rosaura in a way. Rosaura was supposedly invited to a party full of rich people, although she ended up being a worker just like the monkey. According to the story it tells, “Just then Senora Ines arrived saying shh shh, and asked if she wouldn’t mind helping serve out the hot dogs…” [Heker]. This explains how Mrs.Ines only asks Rosaura to serve food like a servant. This concludes with the fact that the monkey symbolizes Rosaura as a worker
By fact the others say repetition is the importance of the story. According to the objectors, they claim that the word ‘Get away with that’ seems to always pop out at the beginning of the story. They remark that the comment, “Get away with it” represents an important part of the story. For example, it says, “get away with you, believing any nonsense you’re told…” [Heker]. This explains how the mother, who made this comment, of Rosaura already knows how it is with rich people because she is their servant. Concluding to this fact, not all may be about symbolism but repetition
