The Singer Repertoire Part II: Scarecrow Studies in Young Adult Literature
Scarecrows are a common sight in fields and gardens, but they have also found their way into the pages of young adult literature. In these texts, scarecrows often serve as symbols of both hope and despair for young people. They can represent the innocence and vulnerability of childhood, or the darkness and danger that can lurk in the world. This study examines the representation of scarecrows in young adult literature, arguing that these figures often serve as mirrors for the young people who read them.
The study draws on a range of theoretical perspectives, including psychoanalysis, cultural studies, and literary theory, to explore the complex meanings of scarecrows in these texts. Psychoanalytic theory suggests that scarecrows can represent the unconscious fears and desires of young people. Cultural studies theory suggests that scarecrows can be seen as symbols of the social and cultural forces that shape young people's lives. Literary theory suggests that scarecrows can be seen as metaphors for the journey of adolescence.
