Bad Ghosts and Good Ghosts

In Foster's chapter 3, "Ghosts and vampires are never only about ghosts and vampires" (17). I liked this quote because it is a fun way to express symbolism which I like....I know call me a nerd. In literature, hardly anything is literal. There is a deeper meaning to it all. Ghosts could symbolize a life lost (clearly) or Hamlet's father's ghost can come with a forewarning and wishing to harm no one. Everything has a different meaning and as long as there is some evidence to support the claim, it is open to interpretations. Having different interpretations to symbolism can determine how you percieve the story.
Some people just want one answer and facts to support it. With literature, it is just the opposite. Analyzing and breaking objects apart to find symbolism is half the fun. I consider English majors creative and more interesting. To many a ghost is a spirit that haunts the living. Period. End of discussion. To others, A ghost may not actually exist but a figment of one's imagination that symbolizes something more.

Or the ghosts in Maura Hall are real and prevent the residents from sleeping at night.
I pick this one ^^
