Light and dark

Light symbolises revelation, hope or insight as opposed to the closed and oppressive world of darkness that creates fear and encourages evil deeds.

Darkness, often associated with the lengthening shadows which accompany its arrival, represents the forces of evil. It feeds fear, breaks people’s confidence, and allows criminal activity to go undetected. Reference is made to the role of light and darkness in the discussion of the themes.
