As I said in yesterday's post, I'm going to talk about themes in The Deathly Hallows, so proceed at your own risk.
Over on her blog, novelist Erica Orloff has been talking about symbolism in her work and the work of other writers.
The symbolism in Rowling's work is pretty clear -- to me anyway. If ever there was a symbol in a modern day novel of Christ, Harry is it. He walks willingly and without fight into what he sees as his death with the idea that he will be saving his friends. Greater love has no man.....
The power of this final book continues to grow in my mind as I continue to consider all its meanings days after finishing it.
