  1. Clear notes on the different aspects of representation here. Careful on the use of 'symbolic' and 'symbolises' eg. the meat in the abbatoir could symbolise death. The character being out of breath and the sound of her panting creates tension rather than being symbolic. Clear notes, now develop your analysis from here. Ms Keenan
