Thewriter of this paper uses symbolic skills to analyze the symbolism of thisstory and its implied idea so that readers can have a better understanding ofthe significance of the story. This paper analyses various aspects of featuresof the symbolic meaning, narrative perspective, and character art of the story.Symbolism is based on a connection between things, using the specific image ofsomeone or something to show some abstract concepts, ideas and emotions. It canmake the article show great foresight, implicitly profound. Using symbolismappropriately could turn some of the more abstract spiritual quality into theimage of concrete, which left a deep impression on the reader, giving the articlea meaning, and thus leaving the reader space to chew afterwards.

Symbol is one of those words that is often used in a confusingmanner. The confusion is increased by different scholars using the word to meanvery different things. A symbol is a person, place, orthing comes to represent an abstract idea or concept.  It is anything that stands for somethingbeyond itself. Somethingthat represents something else by association, resemblance, or convention,especially a material object used to represent something invisible. A symbol is a sign which has furtherlayers of meaning. In other words, a symbol means more than it literally says.

The most important symbol doesnot reveal the relationship between two things, but makes people think and enriches the spiritual life, enhances people’s understanding of the issuesin pursuit. According to (Gao Fei), “In themodernist works, a symbol of style has been not only a means, it is itself avery important style with the help of human communication of various senses.Symbol often expresses the writer’s emotion, the inner emotional world and thespirit, emphasizing the metaphor to imply topics and other special things. In thestory of The Loons, the loon is thecenter of the article and the typical image of a symbol.”

Margaret's writingis succinct concentration, it often borrow appropriate symbols to express atheme. According to the author’s two feelings of scouting Diamond Lake, she revealsthe contingency of human’s life and the tragedy of a nation.The first time is to go to countryside on vacation with Piquette. She sits onthe small pier that her father has built idea, looking forward to the arrivalof loons. The second time is at the time when she hears the death of Piquettefrom mother; she spends several days at Diamond Lake. At that time the scenehas became very different and the villa has been sold; the surroundingmountains and lakes are also built by the government and have been turned intonational parks, shops, hotels, dance halls, cafes and so an. The story has twolines mixed together: one is the protagonistPiquette’s destiny; the other is the fate of loon. The two linesintersect, one reflecting the other. The fate of the loon is the symbol of thefate of Piquette. They are closely attached to each other, and their hearts are linked together. As the last sentence of thetext says, "it seemed to me now that in some unconscious and totallyunrecognized way, Piquette might have been the only one, after all, who hadheard the crying of the loons.” (Zhang Hanxi, Wang Lili. 1995, 6)

In the story, wecan hear the calls of loons at the beginning and the ending of the article. The narrator invites Piquette togo to the lake to listen to the calls of the loons, she flatly refuses in theVilla of Diamond Lake. Thenarrator hears the calls of the loons at the moonlit night sitting on thebreakwater with her father.Her father sits beside her on the pier and they waited, without speaking. Thenthe loons begin their callings. They rise like phantom birds from the nests onthe shore, and fly out onto the dark still surface of the water. “No one candescribe that ululating sound, the crying of the loons, and no one who hasheard it can ever, forget it. Plaintive, and yet with a quality of chillingmockery, those voices belonged to a world separated by acons from our neatworld of summer cottages and the lighted lamps of home.” (Zhang Hanxi, Wang Lili. 1995, 6)

 “The calls of theloons seem to symbolize the elegyfor human beings that nature has been destroyed.”(Gao Fei) “The small pier,which my father had built was gone, and in its place there was a large andsolid pier built by the government, for Galloping Mountain was now a nationalpark, and Diamond Lake has been re-named Lake Wapakata, for it was felt that anIndian name would have a greater appeal to tourists. The one store has becomeseveral dozen, and the settlement had all the attributes of a flourishingresort—hotels, a dance-hall, cafes with neon signs, the penetrating odours ofpotato chips and hot dogs.” At night, the lake at least was the same as it hadalways been, darkly shining and bearing within its black glass the streak ofamber that was the path of the moon. There was no wind that evening, andeverything was quiet all around me. It seemed too quiet, and then i realizedthat the loons were no longer here. I listened for some time, to make sure, butnever once did i hear that long-drawn call, half mocking and half plaintive,spearing through the stillness across the lake. As the human civilizationinvades, the Loons eventually lost their homes. They had gone away to some farplace of belonging. They had been unable to find such a place, and had simplydied out, having ceased to care any longer, whether they lived or not.”(Zhang Hanxi, Wang Lili. 1995, 6) Piquette has lived under theweight of that society so that her behavior is rude and having foul language. Her face is without expression,but also extremely sensitive. In order to shownarrators’ goodness to Piqurtte, the narrator repeatedly asks Piquette toexplore the nature, but she doesn’t care the narrator’s sincere invitation,even gives her a bad clod back. However, she is not the true Piquette. All ofher happiness and dignity have been deprived by the cruel life so that shebuilt a solid crust to protect herself. Just like the loons, in order to hidehuman beings, they migrate to Lake Wapakata. Under the cold outwardappearance, Piquette also has a heart of hoping to get an approval by white people. A few years later,when narrator sees her again and finds she has a startling change, not only shehas a beautiful appearance, and she becomes warm and cheerful. Piquette pretends to show off her joy that she will getmarried with a white guy. Atthat moment, the narratorreally recognizes her feeling. She eagerly desires getting the narrator’s response andlooks forward to getting narrator’s blessing of her marriage. In fact, shewants to get accepted by the white mainstream society for her identity. She wants to marrywith a white man to get rid of their double oppression, seeking toenter the whites’ center of mainstream society from the edge, and finds their ownidentity. Although she has married, her fate does not change. Her marriageended, and she takes two young children to return to her family of the abjectpoverty. She also becomes a sluttish and drinking woman. Because drinking ledto the final tragedy, she died in the flames with her two children.

Piquette'sfamily has been residing in the Wachakwa Valley, near the town Manawaka, forover fifty years. She lives in nothing more than a shack and her family worksodd jobs in between the periods of relief payments. Sometimes the males in thefamily even get into trouble with the law by participating in bar fights. Thelocals from Manawaka consider her family to be "neither flesh and fowl,nor good salt herring. Since they are not pure Cree, the Cree of the GallopingMountain reservatio do not want them and due to their low socio-economicsituation, the other communities from Manawaka do not accept them either. Although Piqutte is in poor health, she hasn’t got a good condition to cure herself. Moreover, she must do thehousework for the whole family so that she has no time to take care herself. Piquette’s tragedy is not just an isolated phenomenon, andit symbolizes the indigenous minorities groups of the bottom of Canadiansociety. When the Whites invade, they lose their land and their homes, and theeconomic position slide into an underlying position. The racial discriminationpolicy that the whites set up make them lose their original social status andeven more devastating is the gradual loss of indigenous culture, and the entirenation will lose their foundation.

The living conditions of Piquette‘s family is a microcosmof the whole Canadian Métis. No clear identity, no basic rights, not tospecific life, they are struggling to live in the margins of society as theloon. Development of the society doesn’t bring to them the freedom anddemocracy, nor the health and the prosperity, but losing themselves in socialdisparities of widening progressively and finally lose the soul of the nation.

In Canada, the loons are endangered creatures. Theirshrill, mocking voices and their fate reflect the status of Métis properly,don't them? Piquette’s fatethoroughly is similar to the fate of the loons. Piquette constantly seeks therecognition of mainstream society in her short life, finding their home ofhearts belong to and finding a place of non-discriminatory that is full of thespirit of love and warmth. However, when Piqueete realizes that she can notescape the cultural imprint and can not change herself, and even can not changethe fate of the Métis so that she does not hesitate to die for a fight ofequality.

1.4 The Symbol of theLoons’ Voice

内容来自论文无忧网 www.paper51.com

内容来自论文无忧网 www.paper51.com

Thecallings of loons symbolize a type and a value.The loon is aunique waterfowl in North American, and its sounds is pathetic, mournful, howland plaintive, as if they are crying. The loon is a natural symbol in thestory. Narrator goes to the Diamond Lake in the holiday with her family. Atnight, she hears the voice of the loons when she sits on the pier with herfather. “no one can ever describe that ululating sound, the crying of theloons, and no one who has heard it can ever, forget it. Plaintive, and yet witha quality of chilling, mockery, those voices belonged to a world separated byacons from our neat world of summer cottages and the lighted lamps of home.” (Zhang Hanxi, Wang Lili. 1995, 6) However, herfather seems to have a sense that the loons will lose their homes soon, so hetells her to remember the voice of the loons well before listening. He tellsher that a few years later, the lake will be built more villas, more and morepeople will come here, and the loons will leave the diamond lake.

Just like the father’s prophesy, eightyears later everything is changing when she re-visits the Diamond Lake. “Thesmall pier which her father had built was gone, and in its place there was alarge and solid pier built by the government. The one store hadbecome several dozen, and the settlement had all the attributes of aflourishing resort.” (Zhang Hanxi, Wang Lili. 1995, 6) It has not been polluted by modern industrial so DiamondLake is a remote part suitablefor the loons to live. These so-called "civilizations" to come,seemingly bring to this land industrialization and modernization, actuallydestroying the natural harmony and tranquility original. The relative peace andquiet of nature is to break by the aggression of modern industrialcivilization, so when the narrator wants to listen again to the lake, she nolonger hears the voice coming across the quiet chirping of the lake. It is thenature that has suffered destroys by the human modem industrial civilization. “Nature is regarded as the matter that no right to speak andthe object of conquest and domination in the development of Westerncivilization, It was forced to become natural resources in the process of humanexploit. It isused to serve human needs and purposes, but these purpose and needs of nature are contrary to thehumans’ needs and purposes.” (JinLi,2004:58) The aphasia of theloons symbolizes nature’s aphasia under the strong attack of the human modern industrial civilization. “As the Tonnerres had increased, theirsettlement had been added to, until the clearing at the foot of the town hillwas a chaos of lean-tos, wooden packing cases, warped lumber, discarded cartyres, ramshackle chicken coops, and tangled strands of barbed wire and rustytin cans.” (ZhangHanxi, Wang Lili. 1995, 6)

1.5 The Symbol of FinalFate --The Double Tragedy of Personality and Society

“Tragedy has threetypes. They are the tragedy of the fate, the tragedy of character and socialtragedies.” (Arthur Schopenhauer, 1788-1860) The story of The Loons has been linked by three tragedies. The first tragedy isthe fate tragedy of the loons and Piquette. This kind of tragedy also includesthe fate of Canadians and those ethnic minorities, because of their differencesof race and different languages, they were abused; the second is charactertragedy of Piqutte, and it is also the social tragedy. Low social status givesher a strong desire to enter white society. At the process of looking for asense of belonging, she falls into the vicious cycle of tragic situation:tragic situation--- struggle against her fate ---lose her ---entercircumstances that are more tragic. She is unable to extricate herself, and finally embarks on the road ofself-destruction. “She was up in court a couple of times---drunk anddisorderly, of course. The shack caught fire. Piquette didn’t get out, andneither did the children.” (ZhangHanxi, Wang Lili. 1995, 6)

Piquette’s fate is very similar to the fate of theloons. Piquette searches for his soul destination in her short life; thespiritual home only has dignity without discrimination. In this way thesymbolic meaning of the loons in the story is memorable.

III.Conclusion

http://www.paper51.com

内容来自www.paper51.com

   To sum up, basedon the study of the symbolic signification of the story The Loons by Margaret Laurence, the paper focuses on thesymbol significance reflected in the story. They are the symbolic significanceof The Loons, the fate of the loonsequal to Piquette’s, the symbol of the loons’ fate, the symbol of the loons’voice and the symbol of final fate. The most important symbol doesnot reveal the relationship between two things, but makes people think and therefore it enriches the spirituallife, deepens the meaning andenhances the understanding of the issues of a belief in pursuit. In the study of the symbol signification of The Loons by Margaret Laurence, this paper shows readers a variety ofsymbolic significations. Furthermore, it has shown that the writer of this story does not confine herself to her ownemotions and pursuits and she is full of the broad sense of historical missionand times. The writer also shows readers a world, plain but significant, thatis to say, the equal and free idea of “multiculturalism” which has beenhighlighted in her story, calling on people to pay more attention to the livesof the stratum people to alert potential hazard of the modern industrialcivilization. Because of my limited time and learning,the writer of this paper can only deal with what has beendiscussed above. However, there still exists many more to be solved about the thesis.
