Paper Summary:
The characters are situated in a wasteland between childhood and manhood. "'Greasy Lake' becomes a nightmarish swamp, the crucible of a forming consciousness, as it was for the United States" (Walker 4). The story itself can be interpreted as the same confused and murky symbol as the lake since, although violence and attempted rape are at the center, nothing is accomplished. Even the meaning of failure is inverted in this story.More papers on Symbolism in "Greasy Lake":
