Symbolism in The Pebble and The Penguin If you ask me this movie has a lot of symbolism in it The pebble is basically a symbol of divine love which helps Hubie to become more confident in himself and stand up to the cruel and vicious Drake It should be noted that it s Hubie who is meek and innocent who receives the pebble initially not Drake in other words nice guys finish first Drake tries to steal the pebble but it doesn t work out so well for him Furthermore Marina s name is symbolic it is derived from marine which refers to the ocean Since the ocean is extremely important to a penguin Marina is effectively a symbol of life itself There s more but I d have to actually watch the movie to pick it up I ve only listened to the songs on YouTube So what do you think
