The Sick Rose
What is the allegorical significance of the poem, "The Sick Rose"?
"The Sick Rose" allegorizes the triumph of experience over innocence. Outwardly, it is a simple poem. It shows how a beautiful rose is attacked by a destructive worm on a stormy night. The love of the worm for the rose is said to be dark and secret. But it has a deeper meaning. Allegorically, the poem tells about the fall of an innocent woman. When the woman loses her virginity to a very unfaithful and deceitful man, she feels sick and shame. The worm evokes the biblical character of Satan, the serpent, that tempted Adam and Eve and brought about their fall.Thus, the poem focuses on the fall of mankind from a state of innocence.
