Title: What does Beauty symbolise in Ransom?
Post by: rachid.kam on October 29, 2017, 09:33:26 pm

Hey Ya'll!
So like, I'm trying to figure out what exactly makes Beauty so admired by all those who meet her. What does she ultimately symbolise? What is the significance of her name? Why would Malouf decisively end his novel with Beauty, rather than the warriors and heroes that his Homeric counterpart utilises?

hey,

a really good resource is Englishworks, just google 'englishworks ransom' and there's an aspect about forgiveness and Beauty in there.
hope this helps
