Anecdote of the Jar Symbols, Allegory and Motifs

The Jar

The jar is a depiction of realism; this object is described as ‘round’ ‘gray’ and ‘bare’. Therefore, the poet uses a jar that any reader can easily recognize and visualize at any moment. The portrayal of the jar is not embellished in any way.

The Hill

The hill is an exemplification of naturalism. Based on the minimal portrayal of the hill in the poem, the hill is accommodating. Due to the natural accord, the jar to positions itself robustly on the top of the hill. In the end, the jar appears like a natural, authentic annex of the hill.

The Wilderness

The wilderness represents adaptability. The wilderness is responsive and receptive as it rises to the jar. Accordingly, the wilderness embraces the jar, making it possible for the jar to fit into its new habitat, even though the jar is neither wild nor extensive as it is. Arguably, the wilderness and the jar are conversing about their neighborliness.
