“The Many Faces of a Character”
Symbolism is emphasized tremendously throughout John Knowles A Separate Peace. ... If one were to analyze each character, a symbolic message would be found in everyone. Some way or another Knowles is thinking on a deeper level and only after going over his writing twice, even several times, does one realize what Knowles actually meant. A character’s name is often contemplated for weeks by an author. ... Knowles characters’ were chosen carefully and perfectly. ... Leper, Brinker, and Phineas names transformed A Separate Peace in the most dramatic of ways. ... Knowles’s character, Leper, was exactly that. ...
Brinker Hadly is quite an interesting character Knowles concocted as well. ... This character was symbolic on so many levels that to analyze this one character a person could assumable write another entire book on just him. ...
Symbolism is everywhere in A Separate Peace. ... Each character comes alive starting with a simple name, such as Leper, Brinker, and Phineas.
