THE NOTEBOOK LITERARY ANALYSIS BY NICHOLAS SPARKS
SYMBOLISM / MOTIFS / METAPHORS / IMAGERY / SYMBOLS

Other elements that are present in this novel include symbols and
metaphors. Symbols are the use of some unrelated
idea to represent something else. Metaphors are direct comparisons
made between characters and ideas. There are many symbols and metaphors
used by the author such as:
1. Noah metaphorically explains his life as a blue chip stock:
fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upward with
time.
2. He goes on to describe his story as both a romance and a tragedy, which has involved a great deal of his life and the metaphorical path he chose to follow. He has no complaints about this path and believes that it has always been the right one. Time, unfortunately, hasn’t made it easy for him to stay on..........
...........18. “He is a stranger now. He cannot be stopped . .
. he is a midnight bandit, masked and fleeing on horseback from sleepy
desert towns, charging into yellow moons with gold dust in his saddlebags.”
He imagines he can lift Allie in his arms and ride off with her into paradise.
This fantasy of Noah’s is a metaphor of how he would like to defend and
protect his Allie.
19. “Noah becomes a mighty ship in churning waters, strong and fearless, and she is his sails.” This is his final metaphorical description of their love.
