This paper examines "The Red
Convertible", a story of two Native American brothers, Henry and Lyman, both of whom share a
deep bond and a very close relationship before things start falling apart. It looks at how, in the story, the most important object for interpretation is the red
convertible. It analyzes how the color red also holds special
significance and is used as a symbol of death and destruction and how it is extremely important to understand the significance of such things and symbols because they convey certain important messages and foreshadow the tragic ending of the story.
