Symbolism in Tuck Everlasting Novel and Film

By Veronica Guerinot

In the book, Tuck Everlasting, symbolism is a strong literary device. As you read, the symbols become more noticeable, because symbols appear in almost every chapter. In this essay, I will discuss three symbols that stood out to me, including the toad, the gate, and the spring. Firstly, the frog symbolizes the circle of life. Next, the gate held Winnie back from the world, which limited her independence. Finally, the spring represents immortality.
