In the poem "Digging" by
Seamus Heaney, Heaney uses the symbols a pen and spade to show how the narrator wants to life his own individual life
and follow
his dreams to write. While doing so he continues to show great respect for his
father and grandfather who dug before him and expect him to do dig as well. He
displays how we don't have to follow through with moral obligations if we want
to branch out and be successful at our own things. Heaney also shows how guilt
plays a role in doing so. Heaney shows us through symbolism
that we can live our own individual lives the way we want.

through with moral obligations. There is a sense of guilt that plays a role on
the narrator and Heaney shows us that it is a necessary step to being an
individual. Through symbolism Heaney shows how difficult it can be to be
ourselves.
