This is a 5 page paper discussing the metaphoric use of structures in Keri Hulme’s “The Bone People”. Throughout Keri Hulme’s “The Bone People” there are a number of structural metaphors which are significant in the strengthening of the emotional contexts of each section. In addition to the recurrence of “the tower” throughout the novel which is used for physical and psychological isolation of a character, most prominently Kerewin, there are also other structural elements which are significant and found throughout such as “the spiral”. Hulme’s introduces the structural image of the spiral early in the work when the readers find that a spiral staircase is at the center of Kerewin’s tower. The spiral is considered significant in the novel as Kerewin remembers that the old people used to use spirals in their carvings as a symbol of rebirth. It is not surprising then that for Kerewin, her life also reflects a spiral, as she circles back to rebuild her house for her own rebirth. Studying the structures throughout the novel by starting in the middle and then spiraling back towards the start of the book and then the end can be done to reflect this study of the structures and spirals throughout the work.
