This work aims to analyze how the Native North American writer Tommy
Orange used the symbol of the spider's web to draw a metaphor in the narrative of his book
“There There” (2016). By exploring authors like Hertha D Wong (2009), Carol
Patterson-Rudolph (1997) and Katarzyna and Sergiusz Michalski (2010), it was possible to
analyze the work of Tommy Orange from a perspective supported by theoretical support. In particular, this analysis focuses on the use of the spider's web and its cultural symbolic
qualities towards Native American peoples, and its transformation into a metaphor rooted
intricately within the narrative. The three characters chosen for the discussion present their
respective internal struggles that dialogue with the proposed with the spider web, from this
perspective, this analysis - based on the bibliographical research method - was performed in
order to obtain a better understanding and other interpretations about the book. |
