organisms was the American chestnut. The American chestnut once inhabited the Eastern portion of North America from Maine to Florida. The great tree was once a dominant species that inhabited the Appalachian Mountains. The tree provided a staple diet to pre-colonized North American inhabitants and the immigrants of Europe.

Additional symbols such as The Red Room or Seasons changing. However, the symbols that stood out to me were the chestnut tree and eyes.

Charles Chestnut that highlights the difficulties experienced by the mulattos (people of mixed white and black races) during the 1890’s. One of the biggest difficulties experienced by the protagonist, Mr. Ryder, was deciding which race to closer associate with when it came time for him to select a spouse.

the painting is titled Chestnut Tree- Grey. It is painted with oil on canvas in 1924. The dimensions were not listed but I estimate it is 3 ½ feet by 2 ½ feet. The painting is a piece of the Myron Kunin collection of American art. Georgia O’Keeffe great use of balance, depths and colors in Chestnut Tree- Grey give the painting a realistic and comforting feeling when looking at it as if you were there and seeing the scenery in person. The painting is of a large Brown chestnut tree with a mountain and
symbolism throughout to engage the reader with graphic descriptions that help illustrate the deeper meaning of the story. “The great horse-chestnut tree at the bottom of the orchard had been struck by lightning in the night, and half of it split away.” On the night that Mr. Rochester proposes to Jane, lightning strikes a chestnut tree and splits it in half. The chestnut tree symbolizes their relationship. Later, the author describes the tree better saying, “The cloven halves were not broken from each other

In Act 1, Scene III of Macbeth, the three witches open the scene. One is killing pigs while another is promising to make a sailor's life miserable because his wife did not share her chestnuts with the witch. Shakespeare employs similes, repetition, and rhyme to demonstrate the power of the supernatural and its control over the characters’ fate. To begin with, Shakespeare uses several similes to illustrate the evil intentions of the witches. In line ten, Shakespeare reveals the malice as one of the

He begins in Chestnut Hill, a high-income neighborhood in Philadelphia, at the city’s boundaries on Germantown Avenue.

At first glance one might think that the chestnut tree has little significance in this passage, but in fact if one reads more closely, one finds that great insight is provided by potentially foreshadowing events within the novel through explicit details. The chestnut tree passage suggests many things about the development of Jane and Mr. Rochester: separately as well as together. When the tree is noticeably
simply writing a synopsis does not tell the reader what is really going on in the book, or the message it is trying to convey. Rather, symbols and motifs move the tale along, and give it depth, the way a simple rehash cannot. Symbols like fire, the chestnut tree, and Jane’s drawings explain the underlying plot points and themes in a unique way.

I would like to show how the symbolism of trees is significant and perhaps show that the tree is intimately important to Yeats by showing that the tree
