Oh one other thing along that line: I've been invited to go over to the DC site where they have a symbolism forum and contribute. So, it's nice to go visit with the symbolism junkies when the smoke in the just a cigar bar gets really thick around here.

F-R, I'd be interested in hearing what all they're talking about over there in terms of symbolism. I'm curious if their ideas completely overlap ours, or if they have different ones, or what. Please report back! :)
Meanwhile, the DC gang will be lucky to partake in the wisdom of as skilled a symbolismologist as yourself!

Oh, my goodness, what if they don't even recognize buckets, eagles, and looking through windows!?! :o
Be careful over there! :D

To continue symbolism
I havn't read that much about it, but I did notice the window thing with Ennis right away and wondered about that. Especially in the scenes where it is a minor detail, not like the major window scenes.
Like when he comes home to Alma and the crying babies, and as soon as he comes in and washes his hands he glances out the window, way before the reunion.
Was he looking for Jack already?
Also at Thanksgiving, before Alma lashes out, he looks out the window. What for?
But it was snowing, so maybe he was just looking out at the snow.
I love the symbolism stuff, and well maybe some of it is a little excess, but so what?
It is fun, but I do wonder about it all, how much was really intentional?
I suppose it really doesn't matter, but it is all there.
