Honestly? I
think it isn't intended as symbolic a lot of the time. I think that whenever it is used in
reference to yellow fever, it is literal. That's for the most part. It refers to the way the
fever makes the skin jaundiced. However, once the idea of the fever is introduced, the color
yellow takes on a host of symbolic meanings. The yellow fever plague was devastating, and so
itand the death that followedseemed to be everyone. Yellow came to symbolize death, suffering,
fear, helplessness, hopelessness€¦
