| Another cover for the book. Hello, Richard Parker! |
Since
Life of Pi is actually an allegory and the entire story can be read on multiple levels, every object, character, and event is basically symbolic. Thus, it starts seeming a ridiculous enterprise to try to label and explain every symbol. However, I do think it is still important to break the book down and talk about specific groups of symbols in order to decipher what human life event or phase the book is trying to explain.
