Dialectical Tensions and Symbolic Representations of Phytonyms in Marcel Pagnol’s “Le Château De Ma Mère”

This study examines the symbolic representations of phytonyms (plant names) in Marcel Pagnol’s autobiographical novel, Le Château de ma mère, focusing on the dialectical tensions they embody. Through a qualitative literary analysis, the research identifies how Pagnol’s use of plant symbolism reflects contradictions between nature and culture, permanence and transience, and personal memory versus collective identity. The findings reveal that phytonyms serve not merely as descriptive elements but as profound symbols that encapsulate complex human experiences, enriching the narrative’s thematic depth. This analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of how natural elements are intricately woven into literature to reflect and shape personal and collective narratives.
