This poem for me was very confusing at first, as we discussed it in class I have further come to understanding it. The poem "Original Sin: A Short Story" by Robert Penn Warren symbolizes hatred. The narrator is explaining on how someone betrayed him/her. The narrator is explaining on how someone acted like a very cruel person. This disobeyed their orders and now acts like they don't know each other. Hatred is seen all within the story. The narrator states that the character how now become to a point where he has to reminiscence all the things they have done in the past. The symbolic feature in this poem became more like a life learned lesson. The narrator explains how the protagonist is being taught a lesson on life and not to take it for granted. The protagonist denies knowing the truth behind what the narrator says but he can not get over the fact that he/she is homesick. They miss their home and the people back home miss them as well.
