Walter Uses a metaphor by saying “choking to death” while explaining how he feels about being held back from life.

While tending to her dying plant, Mama says “ain't never gonna see spring again”. This symbolizes the families fading chances of getting out of this almost hole they have created and the world has created for them.

Multiple allusions are spread throughout the play. One of them being when Walter says “The lion is waking,” referring to the financial status of the family. They've been given a form of financial freedom with the money.
