The central conflict is between the invisible worm which flies in the storm at night and the rose with its traditional association of beauty the worm suggest the snack of the garden of the garden of Eden and since it flies in the night it seems to have been transmitted like A disease to which all not just the rose are vulnerable. The rose as symbol suggests ideal feminist love and nature in its ideal from. The image of a rose bed with worms invisible either because they are hidden by the rose or are not to be apprehend visually is reinforced by the context of sexual assault secrecy and Storm. And the context gives important definition to the symbol. All that is ideal beautiful and naturally to be desired and loved is under assault secretly in the night . the symbol of the rose secretly blighted in a world of darkness and storm has as many application in our own world as in Blake is . in both words what is open natural and beautiful is threatened by motives that are secret and unknown
