Symbolism in 'On Loving"

As many of "On Loving" readers noticed, variety of symbolism has been used in choosing character names, objects, etc. through the story. Some asked me about certain number of them. I am sharing a few of them here with you:

- Rose (as in Rose Hemmings): Symbol of "Frequent Blooming", "Hope" (Surviving hardships)
- Lavender Rose: Symbol and sign of "Love at first sight" (Dean and Rose)
- Black Rose: Symbol of "Tragic Romance"(Siyavash and Rose)
- Siyavash: Symbol of "Innocence" (Based on the character from Book of Kings)
- Borna: Symbol of "Youth"
- Sohrab: Symbol of "Victory Over Resistance"
- Forugh: Symbol of "Brightness"
