symbols, symbolization, representationAbstract
The present study deals with some symbols that portray the disability of some disabled teenagers in Jennifer Albert Mann’s novel The Degenerates according to the psychoanalytic theory and critical disability theory. Dealing with symbolism in this situation is of great importance because it helps to understand important issues related to some incarcerated girls providing some important factors about their psychological concerns. Hence symbols are secret messages the author chooses to send to her readers by which lesser expressions are used to reveal more meanings.
