    The triumph of the egg

    Im reading this shrot story by Anderson, and comes to my mind the simbology of the egg and how the egg spoils his family’s hopes for success, first as chicken farmers and later as restaurateurs.
    What do you think about the egg and its meaning in the family life?

    Like chicken eggs, or human embryos? It is usually a rebirth or a purity of innocence metaphor.
