Fish is an important staple of many cultures, whether as food, source of income, or a religious sign. Compare and contrast some of these symbolisms in religion and folklore. Is the fish seen as positive in some cultures? Negative? Has its meaning changed over time?
I love this topic, especially since I myself have just written a short film that features the symbolism of fish. I find fish are viewed in a positive light and that to me it represents a sustainable life source. It is something that people need even if they don't realize they need it. The best way I can describe this is by describing water. Water is a literary source for "baptism" or the change the characters must go through to become better. Fish are constantly swimming in the water and they derive their own lives by the water. When fish are symbolized in stories to me it is a feeling of everlasting peace and persistence brought about by health and goodwill something I don't believe will change anytime soon. – thepriceofpayne3 years ago
This is an interesting topic- I think the author could additionally write about the symbolism of different types of fish. From koi fish to piranhas or goldfish. – Abie Dee3 years ago
