Paul’s family’s house is a settled yet very important symbol that helps convey this theme. The house was first introduced to be a rather “pleasant” place to live. It had a “garden” and the family had a feeling of being “superior to anyone in the neighbourhood.” Any child would love to grow up in such a place, and Paul and his two sisters did. However, the “whispering” of the “unspoken phrase” began coming from the “rocking-horse” and behind “the smart doll’s house.” The mother’s obsession with becoming “lucky,” her interpretation of luck is money, would drive the “unspoken phrase” of “There must be more money, there must be more money,” to haunt the house forever.

The importance of his eyes being “big” means that he illustrated determination and interest of the subject in question. The only time that Lawrence mentioned Paul having “big blue eyes” was when Paul was riding his rocking horse and when they were talking about the horse races. These two things contributed tremendously to Paul’s plan on making his mother ha
