The Name of the Rose

[edit]

Our article on The Name of the Rose (novel by Umberto Eco) says

[…] Eco saying in the Postscript he chose the title "because the rose is a symbolic figure so rich in meanings that by now it hardly has any meaning left".

This should be worked in the article somewhere, but I'm lazy to do it now. – b_jonas 17:19, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rose (symbolism)Rose symbolism – Since this page isn't for disambiguation, it shouldn't be structured with a parenthetical. For examples of this convention, see Plant symbolism, Human skull symbolism, Black and white hat symbolism in film. ~BappleBusiness[talk] 05:59, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Symbolism

[edit]

It is extraordinary how barren this section is of specific indications of just what it is that roses symbolize, exactly. Just sayin'.

Is it fear of straying from a NPOV, or of being being sexist, that has restrained people from saying the obvious -- viz., that roses (the flower specifically, of course, but also the plant and its life cycle, etc.) naturally combine form and scent and ephemeralness in a way that has made them through the ages a favorite symbol of many aspects of feminine beauty, the female sex, etc., as well as a common female name?
