Blog Prompt: Comment on the elements of a story in your book.----------------------------
Symbolism is an element that is taken very lightly in 'Life, the Universe and Everything'. Much of the characters or events that happen within the book are very straight forward, which makes things easier for the reader to figure out. Such as Ford Prefect literally being a sofa in the very beginning of the book, since Ford has quite an affinity to furnishings.
Irony, however, is very abundant in the book. Douglas Adams uses irony almost every chapter to describe characters and events going on within the universe. An example of such would be the Krikkit people, whom were a very peaceful and understanding society, suddenly turned genocidal at the sight of other species to the point of building vast fleets of galactic warships for the mission.
