The Night of the Iguana Symbolism This movie is saturated with symbolism even if it sometimes made no sense. I found several symbols interesting and one of them was the rum-coco.

At the end of the movie‚ it is Shannon offering Maxine the rum-coco as a form of acceptance and it is implied that they finally sleep together

Night Rave last weekend felt unreal to me. I’ve met this boy who changed my life for the better. I almost missed the chance to meet him‚ but I’m glad I did..for now.
