In "Ethan Frome," the gravestones foreshadow the themes of entrapment and despair that permeate the story. They symbolize the inescapable fate and emotional stagnation that Ethan faces in his life, reflecting his bleak existence in Starkfield. The imagery of the gravestones suggests that the characters are not only physically confined by their circumstances but also emotionally buried under their unfulfilled desires and obligations. This foreshadowing sets the tone for the tragic events that unfold, underscoring the inevitability of their suffering.

What happens to gravestones after years?

Hi there.

Hi there. The history of gravestones goes back thousands of years as Ancient grave markers have found in Greece and Rome. Gravestones, like we have today, developed around 300 years ago.
