The House at Pooh Corner Symbols, Allegory and Motifs

The House at Pooh Corner Symbols, Allegory and Motifs

Pots of honey (Symbol)

Pooh most of all is fond of honey, this is his favorite dish, and after having it in the morning, he usually has it also at 11:00 in the morning, and two more times till the night. For him it is not simply the food, it is his affection. He counts the pots very often, and the quantity of filled pots is very important for him. These filled pots symbolize comfort for Pooh, and in the more broad way symbolize the things that can include in it self not only the things for surviving, but also things for the soul. It is simply material world combined with the inner one, and these pots symbolize the objects that can satisfy both issues for a person.

Letter A (Symbol)

Letter A appears once, and stands as a symbol of education and knowledge. For the uneducated it is only three sticks organized in s strange way, but for the educated it means everything.

Growing up (Allegory)

When the animals found out that Christopher Robin began to study it becomes obvious that he is growing up. At the very moment an allegory of a stream is provided: “by the time it came to the edge of the forest the stream had grown up, so that it was almost a river, and being grown-up it did not run and jump and sparkle as it used to do when it was young, but moved more slowly”. The same with Christopher Robin, he did not have any more time to spend with his friends and have a lot of entertainments, as he had more important things to do – like studying.
