ROSE'S NAME IS MEANT TO LITERALLY ALLUDE TO THE FACT THAT HER LIFE HAS BEEN ABOUT GROWTH AND HER EXISTENCE AS TROY'S WIFE. SHE TALKS ABOUT PLANTING HERSELF IN HIM, A COMMITMENT, AND HOW IT HAS BEEN FRUITLESS. JUST AS SHE TRIES TO GROW SHE DISCOVERS THE "HARD AND ROCKY" SOIL THAT STIFLES HER. LIKE A PLANT IN POOR SOIL, SHE CANNOT GROW IN HER HUSBAND'S PRESENCE. ANOTHER ALLUSION IS TO THE FACT THAT SHE HAS THORNS. SHE IS THE IDEAL WIFE--LOVING AND LOYAL AND DETERMINED--BUT UNDER PRESSURE, SHE REVEALS HER HURT AND HER ABILITY TO HURT.

TROY SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN NAMED AFTER THE FAMOUS CITY OF TROY. A CITY KNOWN FOR ITS IMPENETRABLE FORTIFICATIONS AND FOR BEING THE PRODUCT OF ITS OWN DEMISE THROUGH THE TROJAN HORSE. IN A VERY SIMILAR WAY, TROY'S CHARACTER IS UNBELIEVABLE STUBBORN AND IMPENETRABLE BY EVERYONE IN HIS LIFE. HE IS INCREDIBLY STRONG IN HIS OPINIONS AND THOUGHTS, THE VERY THING THAT LEADS TO HIS WEAKNESS IN CHARACTER.

THOUGH EXPLORED FURTHER IN OUR PAPER, THE LITERARY CRITICISM MOST PRESENT IN OUR SCENE IS THAT OF BASEBALL. TROY GRAPPLES WITH HIS OWN WORDS TO TRY AND CONVINCE ROSE OF HIS PURE INTENTIONS THROUGH AN EXTENDED METAPHOR INVOLVING BASEBALL. HE TRIES TO LET HER UNDERSTAND THAT BEING AFRICAN AMERICANS GIVES HIM "TWO STRIKES" AND THAT HE MUST PLAY IT SAFE IN ORDER TO SURVIVE. THAT "SAFE" WAS HIS WIFE AND HIS FAMILY, BUT THAT HE WAS TIRED OF BEING SAFE--THUS HAVING AN AFFAIR AND "STEALING SECOND". THIS POOR ATTEMPT TO JUSTIFY HIS UNJUSTIFIABLE ACTIONS IS THE MAIN APPLICATION OF BASEBALL AND THE IDEA THAT THIS SYMBOL OF THE AMERICAN DREAM IS IN FACT WORKING AGAINST OUR CHARACTERS.

GABRIEL'S NAME ALLUDES TO HIS POSITION AS THE ANGEL GABRIEL, WHOM HE BELIEVES HIMSELF TO BE. IN THIS WAY, HE IS THE MESSENGER OF SAINT PETER, AND MUST OPEN HEAVEN'S GATES. AS THIS IS HIS ROLE, THE STORY ALLUDES HEAVILY TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS A CONSTANT PRESENCE OF DEATH AND SALVATION IN THE STORY. WITH LITTLE PHYSICAL RETRIBUTION, IT IS RATHER GABE'S PRESENCE TO REMIND THE READER THAT THERE IS ALWAYS DEATH AND HEAVEN LINGERING THAT IS IMPORTANT.
