Hello there!
1. Symbols, themes, and characters with similar attitudes always exist inside the world of literature and arts. Authors and artists use them to express their feelings or the message that they want to share with the world but in a nicer and deeper way. However, these figures of speech are not easier to catch up at first sight but does not matter how much time passes, there will always have an impact on human lives.
2. Writers, poets and artists do not write these pieces just because they wanted to, they as well want to contribute with something meaningful in the near future of humanity. When the audience understands the pieces they are reading, they interpret the message that the author wanted to share with them.
3. The universal theme that both short stories share is mortality. In <em>The Story</em> <em>of an Hour</em>, the main character Louisa Mallard, the author shared this theme through the death feeling near her husband's almost death. On the other hand, Granny Weatherall in <em>The Jilting of Granny Weatherall</em>, death was the one that showed on her through her agony feelings that death caused her such as fear of abandonment and loneliness after dying.
4. Both pieces share the symbol of a man's wall-bordering around themselves or near their property. They both wanted to share with the rest of the people but their self-desperation always share them apart. In the poem <em>The Mending Wall</em>, this theme was showing his desperation through distance and tension between men. On the other hand, in the song performed by Pink Floyd, the theme was symbolized with isolation.
