Symbolic Images In Truman Capote's Short Stories
His parents did not dedicate their time to the upbringing of their son (Truman Capote. American Author). Therefore, young Truman was brought up by his mother’s relatives and spent his childhood in Monroeville, Alabama. His childhood was not easy due to the frequent conflicts between his parents and long-term separations with them. Furthermore, young Truman was quite sensitive, and he was frequently picked on among his peers (Truman Capote Biography). The major objective of the Truman Capote’s works was to introduce the readers the problematic issues of the real life through the symbolic images represented in his stories, one of which is the story “Miriam”.
