The Hunger Artist

Ok I have no idea why this blog was deleted but it was so iam going to do it again. The story is about a man who starves himself for art. He does it for fame and glory. However, towards the end the people become bored with him and leave. He keeps starving himself anyways. I see symbolism in his actions and his settings. He doesn't want to give up his pasion and spirit. These things were symbolized in his act of starving. The cage can represent anything from security to the fact that he is traped by fame. The panther represents a new joy and something that is strong. This animal was moved into the cage after his death and it shows that life has moved on. People want the next best thing in fame.
