GREEN
Is the reason the color green shows up so much because its suppose to symbolise envy? It seems that Peter is jealous of Richard, Richard is jealous of Peter. Clarissa is jealous of Sally Seton and Peters relationship. It seems Septimus is jealous of all happiness he is lacking in his life. And Rezia is jealous of Evens even though he is dead. In every scene we see the color green is it because most of the characters have a little green monster on their backs? Is the reason that Clarissa didn't marry Peter have to do with her fathers great disapproval of him?

Is there that much green in this novel, and does it function n the same, obviously symbolic way as, say, red does in "Jane Eyre"? I wonder. This may approach be a bit too thin to spin an entire essay out of. But feel free to pursue it (and the related concept of jealousy). Come see me during tutorial if you want to talk about this further (or if you find yourself frustrated with your draft as you begin generating it).
