What is the meaning of the Dead in the Family cover?

Postby cathrine » Sat Dec 12, 2009 11:38 pm

So I saw the cover of Dead in The Family and I loved it but I also found it interesting(and romeantic) that there was a red rose between ES so I made a litlle reserch and I found out that the red rouse is the most important one of all the other roses because she has a speial meaning.In culture red rose means :true love,passion and respect.If the the red rose is dark red it means the love has ended but if it's bright red it means a profound love or just ''I love you''.So in the cover I think the red rose is bright red.It looks like that ES are tryng to reach each other but the rose is between them so maybe that means that something is standing in their way and it looks like Eric is smiling or something.So what do you think the cover means?I would be happy to hear suggestions.

To me, the rose is a simple symbol of love, and Eric and Sookie are both reaching out to grasp it in spite of the thorns, which represent all the problems they will have to deal with if they want to be together.

That's how I interpreted the picture too.

I had to shake my head at some of the speculation. One theory that was actually backed by posters was that Bill was the rose. :shock: :dizzy:

All the covers illustrate the feel of the book, not a specific scene. No giant roses in my books! Maybe saying they represent the "emotional direction" of the book is more accurate.

I felt the cover symbolizes love. It's beautiful, but complicated (thorny) and takes work to cultivate/preserve.

I think that this is the most beautiful cover of every book so far, this is my interpretation of the cover: for me the red rose means true love passion and romance and the two spiny legs of the rose are Eric and Sookie ...for me each of these spiny legs are the paths they have traveled to reach the end... What I loved is that these two spiny legs at the end come together to create this beautiful rose ... I think the symbolism is beautiful and very romantic! :D
