∙ 14y ago"The Fire" carried by both the Man and the Boy inside of them symbolizes the only love left in the world. It could also symbolize the hope that they must carry inside of them in order to survive. The Cannibals- Symbolize the end of civilization, or what the world has turned into The Sea- Symbolizes death as a bridge to the afterlife, something to hope for, or relates to the phrase "the grass is greener on the other side" The Road- Hope, courage, good vs. evil (whether you choose the life path of good or the life path of evil)

∙ 13y agoThere are a few examples of irony in The Road.
FIRE: The boy and the man constantly talk about carrying the fire, when the world around them was partly destroyed by fire.
GOD: When Ely first sees the boy, because he doesn't see well, he thinks the boy is an angel. He says this, and then later says he doesn't believe there is a god.
SURVIVAL: The man is almost too ready to give his life up for his son, because without the guide and help of his father or some other authority, the son doesn't have a very good chance of faring by himself.
OCEAN: When the boy and the man reach the ocean, it is cold, barren, and grey. They also find a boon here: a boat filled with provisions. The boat of supplies contrasts the dead and grey ocean.
SHOPPING CART: There is a bit of irony in the fact that the man and boy prefer to carry their scarce findings in a shopping cart. Before the disaster, shopping carts could be easily filled with food and basic supplies. Now, the boy and the man experience great difficulty in finding the simplest things.
I'm sure there are more, but hopefully these help out! :)
