Reply:The white oleander itself represents the deadliest beauty; it is a beautiful flower, yet its poison can kill.
Reply:Okay, I haven't read the book. But here's a trick I know regarding beauty as a symbolism, it might help you.





Pick any woman character in the book. That character definitely symbolizes beauty to some aspect. If the character is a villain then it is the negative effect of beauty and if the character is a nice one then its angelic beauty. And then pick some quotes related to the character and try to prove your point by BSing.





Start like.....in the book ____ , _____ was a very strong character. She herself symbolizes the constructive / destructive side of beauty.
