[edit] Original research
I've deleted the following as being original research. A section on the themes and symbolism in the story would be a good idea, but it should be sourced and the opinions attributed to notable academics, authors, ect... Serpent-A 08:53, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

- It is said that the pit represents ignorance, and the fear of the unknown, seeing as the narrator had the option of dying then, or chancing a better or worse fate.
- Literally speaking, General Lasalle does not rescue the narrator. He dies once in the pit, and General Lasalle represents Jesus or some form of savior.

I think this summary should be cut down to a much briefer version. Any takers? -User:Midnightdreary
I put the long summary in there because someone had deleted the original and put in some weird summary that had absolutely nothing to do with the story. I think someone tried to edit it but left a ton of grammer mistakes. -User:Gunmetal2k4
