    As Marion walks into the parlor, a close-up of the owl and raven are shown between shots of Marion as she scans the room. The black raven is both a predator and a scavenger whereas the songbirds are the targets of owls, hawks, and even ravens. As the songbirds sit next to Marion and the crow hovers eerily over her, Norman tells Marion that she “eats like a bird”. Assuming that Norman is comparing her to a songbird and not a predatory bird, Marion seems to exemplify Norman’s statement by picking at a piece of bread for the whole scene. Norman then says, “I hear the expression ‘eats like a bird’ is really a falsity, because birds really eat a tremendous lot”. Then, Norman says, “I think only birds look well stuffed because, well because they’re kind of passive to being with.” As Norman places his hand in an almost affectionate way on the smaller bird next to him, he describes how he uses his hobby of “stuffing things” to fill time rather than pass time. The small bird that Norman has his hand on symbolizes his feelings toward all women: they are better dead and inactive. As Marion stands to leave the parlor and return to her room, each shot of Marion reveals the raven’s beak pointing straight toward her neck. Audience feel a sense of threat toward Marion, but after the owl becomes associated with Norman’s mother, the tension between Marion and the birds…

    Mommy was, by her own definition, “light-skinned” a statement which I had initially accepted as fact but at some point later decided was not true. My best friend Billy Smith’s mother was as light as Mommy and had red hair to boot, but there was no doubt in my mind that Billy’s mother was black and my mother was not. There was something inside me, an ache I had, like a constant itch that got bigger and bigger as I grew that told me. It was in my blood, you might say, and however the notion got there, it bothered me greatly. Yet Mommy refused to acknowledge her whiteness.”…

    The point in the story when Millicent meets the small man from the bus is when she begins to realize that there is more to life than being confined to a group like the sorority. An interesting conversation sparked when Millicent asked the small man what he had for breakfast as he responded with ‘heather birds’ eyebrows on toast’. Instantly, Millicent is captivated and feels a sense of comradeship with this stranger. To belong doesn’t mean one has to follow the ideals of society because we can often find the most fascinating relations towards the oddest things just like how Millicent felt towards the man. Furthermore, the heather birds symbolize individuality because the fact that these creatures are mythological there’s that sense of uniqueness to these creatures. Unlike the sparrows that were mentioned in the story, the heather birds are freer, independent, and captivating in their own way. Conjointly, she begins to realize that the people weren’t smiling at her because they knew she was being initiated; rather, as Millicent quoted, “… they would open up, unfolding quite wonderfully, if only you were interested in them,” people were warming up to her because Millicent showed interest in them.…
