The Island

In this picture, a man is singing in the back of the choir in the church. The choir is made of all women except for the man in the middle. The man is also drawn with horns and is singing a different from the rest of the choir. Everyone else in the choir is almost drawn in an identical way making the man stand out from the choir a lot. This picture is symbolizing that the man is a devil in comparison to angels singing in the choir. The author is telling that the man is very diverse from the rest and he is represented in the form of a devil. The picture also has everyone in the choir with identical movements excepted for the man who is doing unusual things from the rest, which tells that the man does not just look unusual from the others, but also his movements, actions and everything else is all singular from the others. The story in relation to the picture tells of the man being rejected from singing in the choir which shows deep prejudice in the man. In the eyes of the people from the island, the man is probably seen as a devil just like how the picture shows the man.
