The Tainted Chalice

in adsactly •  7 years ago  (edited)

@adsactly: I'm curious to know - why name this story 'the tainted chalice' and what does the red rose symbolise in the story?

I'm really not able to connect he story of a vengeful pregnant woman who ends up killing 3 people in addition to her cheating husband with that of either a chalice or a rose - sorry, I'm a little blank here :)

PS: I'm really suprised half the coments are on the beauty of a rose etc etc instead of the actual story too. The story was captivating nonetheless.

    Oh and as for the rose, if i am correct, that is a wilting rose in winter. That should represent Court Lane losing its peace and quiet after Sky High Towers constructed a building there. It was never the same.

          @roji.abraham, A chalice represents something pure, but when it is tainted it portrays the opposite. I hope you could now make the connection.

          Obviously, the flower comments are from people who did not read the story.

                My guess is that the tainted chalice represents the 'cup or vial of drug' the three deceased persons shared.

                  I thought the same thing about a lot of the comments being about the rose. I suspect their just clicking on the post and commenting about the first thing they see.
