    Hello,
    I’m working on an essay about symbolism in Peace for my Literature class, and I need some help interpreting the recurring mention of “figs” in the play. The characters talk about the “bridegroom’s fig” and “the bride’s fig” during the wedding scene, and I’m curious about what the figs symbolize in the context of the play’s themes of abundance and peace. Are the figs merely part of the comedic celebration, or do they carry a deeper meaning related to the idea of prosperity and harmony after the end of war? Any ideas or interpretations would be really helpful!
