In Margaret Atwood's "Lady Oracle," the protagonist experiences a multi-faceted separation of her identity, symbolized by different colored souls. Each voice that departs from her represents a distinct aspect of her being, emphasizing the complexity of individuality and personal expression. This imagery of souls ascending towards the sun conveys a sense of liberation and transcendent beauty, allowing the protagonist to embrace her multifarious nature.
The act of singing as these souls rise underscores the idea that each part of her identity contributes to a harmonious whole, despite their differences. This suggests an optimistic view of self-acceptance, highlighting that every facet, regardless of its hue, plays a vital role in the journey toward wholeness and self-discovery.
