Question

In The Thing in the Forest by A.S. Byatt, what do you think the creature that the girls saw in the forest symbolizes?

The imaginary creature is somewhat similar to the Loathly Worm -- which I believe is origin of the girls' imagination. It acts as a symbol through out the story, and present the wounded, sad, struggling people during the war.
