A Blind Beggar (Symbol)
A Blind Beggar is a symbol of hearing, sincerity. Such an image, fully alone, comes in contrast to his surroundings. Meeting with a beggar usually makes the characters do what they would never do. For the waitress, this is a person she wished to tell her troubles to and who wouldn’t turn away; this figure of help needs the help of others.
Noses Into Sausages (Allegory)
Noses Into Sausages – (…) so as not to blurt out something stupid and end up like that couple who wished their noses into sausages. Recalling the famous story about wishes (and sending us to e.g. Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis when he speaks about displeasure going from wishes using the same story), the author teaches us to think wisely about our desires.
A Fairy Godmother (Motif)
A Fairy Godmother is a traditional image in a postmodern interpretation, that appears time and again in the story. But she is not a definitely positive image – she just makes the wishes come true in her own non-ordinary way.This figure symbolizes the power that may step into somebody’s life as a means of creating the situation ‘what would be if…’; still, happiness depends only on the person who wishes.
