The main characters virginity is described as ‘the invisible pentacle of her own virginity. She is an unbroken egg‚ she is a sealed vessel; she has inside her a magic space the entrance to which is shut

The pistol that Little Red Riding hood secretly wields ends up

Theme and Narrative Elements in the Short Story Sean M. Czuchaj Ashford University The themes of a story are the ideas that are behind the story. The theme of the story makes the underlying ideas of the story come to life (Clugston‚ R. W. 2010). The theme of the story embodies the main idea that the reader should get from reading a story. There are many literary elements that add to the theme of a story but I think the most important literary elements are the point of view and symbolism
