Trevor as a Symbolic Representation of Neville

Apr 11, 2005 18:25

I have already written about the Mimbulus mimbletonia as a symbolic representation of Neville; this time it’s Trevor’s turn. Though this has only just occurred to me, I already feel very strongly that it is wonderfully appropriate that Neville’s pet is a toad. ( More than any other character in the book, Neville undergoes a remarkable transformation as he grows older, and a toad is one of the ultimate symbols of transformation. )

I've never thought about Trevor in this way, and I think you raise some interesting points. I have nothing other than that to add; I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed reading your thoughts on this idea. :)
