... the only beauty i knew, old woman swamp. ...a knot of cruelty borne by the stream of love... ...our blood sometimes bears the seed of our destruction... ...pride is a wonderful, terrible thing...
In "The Scarlet Ibis," the narrator explores the double-edged nature of pride. While it can lead to achievements and personal growth (life), it can also result in destruction and tragedy (death). The story shows how unchecked pride can have both positive and negative consequences in one's life.
The scarlet ibis is itself foreshadowing, because his aunt says red dead birds means bad luck.
In "The Scarlet Ibis," the peacock is a symbol of pride and beauty, representing a sense of vanity and self-importance. The peacock serves as a contrast to the fragile and disabled character of Doodle, highlighting the theme of difference and acceptance within the story. The peacock's presence emphasizes the importance of embracing individuality and uniqueness.
The best way to relate to a person who is arrogant or "self-proud" is to put yourself in a position that they see as similar to themselves. If you can find attributes that are common, then that person will be more likely to relate to you.
