| The story represented family and resurrection because at the end of the story, the people of the village represented the dead by building houses that had high ceilings and heavy duty floors and furniture. Also the women also showed alot of care and unconditional love towards him as well by dressing him/cleaning him up. It took awhile for the townspeople to realize who the dead man was, and after all of the women swooned over him, realizing his identity made them feel bad. This man was so huge and clumsy in his life, and he was probably depressed.The anchor symbolizes that if the people of the village doesn't put the anchor on the dead man, it will allow him to come back to the village and be a family to the people again (to those that always believed in him). | |||
