Phoenix



"The phoenix is a mythical sacred fire bird which originated in the Sub-continent of India in ancient mythologies mentioned in the Egyptian and later the Phoenician and the Greek Mythology.

A phoenix is a mythical bird with a tail of beautiful gold and red plumage. It has a 500 to 1,000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that it then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis. The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and invincible - it is also said that it can heal a person with a tear from its eyes and make them temporarily immune to death. The phoenix is a symbol of fire and divinity."

Representational Analysis:

Phoenix represents the fires raging in Lawrence's heart for all of the things he has repressed, and towards the cage he has trapped himself in by refusing to socialize with people, refusing to make friends, trapping himself in a world of books, and not experiencing more of the world. A big part of this is also him blaming himself for his parents demise, an activity which Heinrich has discouraged many times because it simply was not Lawrence's fault. However, Lawrence cannot see anyone else to blame. Deep down, Lawrence seeks for everything to be purged in flames.

If left unchecked, Lawrence's fires may spread and eventually break out of his cage, doing the very thing he desired most: engulfing his world, and everything and everyone in it.

Feng Huang



"A legendary avian that appears in countless Chinese legends. Both male and female. It is the king of all flying creatures. A servant of the Emperor of Heaven, it is two meters long and has a five-colored body and a five-toned voice. It only eats bamboo seeds and only perches on paulownia trees.

In the Chinese "Classic of Rites," Feng Huang is counted as one of the Four Holy Elements and protects the south. It is also sometimes identified among the Four Holy Beasts alongside Zhu Que, Phoenix, and Garuda."

Representational Analysis:

Feng Huang represents everything that Lawrence aspires to be. It represents his fires being quelled, and him coming to terms with the fact that his parents are dead, it wasn't his fault, and there is more to the world than the anti-social cage he has trapped himself in. This Lawrence has also decided to place his trust in the team, decided to make an effort to make friends, and has changed his personality from one of icy bitterness to one of warm calmness. Hopefully, this trust will not be misplaced...

(Also, this Lawrence has actually smiled. Sincerely smiled.)
