Have you read Four Souls by Louise Erdrich?

Question

What is the significance of the title?

(this is not a school homework assignment - don't worry)

Answer 1

Four Souls is very closely related to Tracks (with many of the same characters, Nanapush and Fleur included), so perhaps you might find a better answer if you were to read this other novel by her. That said, I really don't know what to tell you; it could be an allusion to the complexity of Fleur's character and identity, the need for multiple souls/vantage points to tell her story. It also could be an allusion to the four directions, the four colors of the medicine wheel, or any number of other symbolisms. What do you think is its significance?

Answer 2

This is rather sad, but the ones that always get to me usually have the kiddish plots or something that isn't extremely apathetic. I cried at the end of both Wicked: the Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, and Son of a Witch; and The Hunger Games. All three were sooo sad.. Btw: Hiii Light's Kira!! I don't ever get to see you anymore! If this is even the right user. :| [[edit]] Ok. Reading the few answers before me, this is obviously the real Light's Kira. :) Well yeah, hi. Haha. Hope you haven't forgotten about little ol' us. Ohh!! And the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath was sad; as well as the Catcher in the Rye
