A Court of Thorns and Roses Symbols, Allegory and Motifs

Art

Art is an emblem of Feyre’s enthusiasm, dispensation and articulacy. When Feyre is not in the forest hunting, she spends her time painting vines, flowers and flames. Feyre expresses her feelings through paintings, which shows her individuality.

Forests

The forests that Feyre goes to hunt symbolize uncertainty and danger. Feyre spends most of her time hunting for food to ensure her family does not sleep hungry. Nevertheless, dangerous wolves and faeries endanger Feyre's life in the forests. Feyre only feels safe when accompanied by her friends. The deadly ferries that pose a potential danger to Feyre in the forest are Naga and Suriel.

Masks

Masks are a symbol of disguise in the novel and feature outstandingly throughout the text. All the residents of the Spring Court must put on undeviating masks to hide from Amaranth's curse. Consequently, members of the Spring Court must conceal their identity for them to survive the curse. In addition, the masks represent the faeries' inability to talk openly about their cursed lives.
