Literary analysis:
Throughout literature, "flame" is employed as a multifaceted symbol, evoking both the tangible heat of fire and the intangible fervor of human emotion and spirit. In some works it portrays divine or sublime energy, as when the fire of Heaven is contrasted with an infernal blaze [1] or when it represents a sacred illumination guiding believers [2]. Elsewhere, the term is used to illustrate the swift, destructive power of passion or conflict, evident in descriptions of blazing fury or the liquid flame of anger [3]. It can also capture the delicate and transient nature of love or hope, as seen in the imagery of a newly kindled flame emerging from the ashes [4]. Thus, across genres and narratives, the flame stands as a potent metaphor for both creation and destruction, burning ever brightly in the hearts of characters and the pages of literature alike [1][5][2][4].
  1. The fire of Heaven is not the flame of Hell.
    — from Idylls of the King by Baron Alfred Tennyson Tennyson
  2. And when the flame from the altar went up towards heaven, the angel of the Lord ascended also in the same.
    — from The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Complete
  3. Vengeance to God alone belongs; But when I think on all my wrongs, My blood is liquid flame!
    — from Marmion: A Tale Of Flodden Field by Walter Scott
  4. So that a new, fragile flame of love came out of the ashes of this last pain.
    — from The Rainbow by D. H. Lawrence
  5. A circle of glowing red appeared about him, and a tongue of flame, released from the chaos within, flickered up towards him.
    — from The Country of the Blind, and Other Stories by H. G. Wells
