A Literary Analysis of the metaphors found in As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
Gem’s association with his steed gives bits of knowledge
into his character and into his association with his mom Addie. The curiously
discerning Darl prods Jewel by saying his mom is a stallion, recommending that
what Jewel feels for the steed is the thing that he feels for his mom. While
Jewel acts viciously towards his steed, it ought to be understood that Jewel is
after all portrayed by viciousness. Gem was conceived as the aftereffect of the
viciousness Addie looked for in the evangelist Whitfield to feel invigorated.
The main monolog given to Jewel gives experiences into the fierce pictures in

vicious upheavals is love and commitment. He just can’t express his feelings

association with the steed gives an additional measurement to his identity. In
this way, the half-wild steed that symbolizes the mother proposes the rough
conditions of his introduction to the world and delineates Jewel’s own
inclination for viciousness.
