Life of Pi is a story of a boy that in his way to Canada a big tragedy happens and his ship sank with all of his family and animals from the zoo that his parents used to have back in India. He is left in the ocean over seven months with a tiger named Richard Parker, with no help of the world. What is the true meaning of this?
There isn't any, because the allegory if the story of Life of Pi is not what happens to Pi and Richard Parker is the symbols that Martel expresses in the book. Is things like a number 3.14, the idea of three religions and how we as humans see the world. The meaning or the allegory of the book is not about how much Richard Parker and Pi suffered in the seven months. Is actually how we see the world from what we know and would like to experience. In class we said that the actual allegory of Life of Pi was to give a meaning to life. I think that the whole perspective was to do every thing you can to see the world in different points of view. Like Pi he saw the world in three different ways because of the religions that he followed, this helped him in understanding himself and the world.
