What are the symbols of "Dolphin Hotel" and "Sheep Man" in Haruki Murakami's Adventures of Looking for Sheep and Dancing?

"Dolphin Hotel" and "Sheep Man" in Haruki Murakami's Adventures of Looking for Sheep and Dancing have profound symbolic significance.

"Dolphin Hotel" is an important symbol in The Adventure of Looking for Sheep. This hotel is not only a real place, but also a spiritual home for the protagonists to find themselves and the meaning of life. In this world, people can enter a place called "Dolphin Hotel" through a secret entrance, which seems to be an eternal existence, unaffected by time and space. In this hotel, people can meet all kinds of strangers, hear all kinds of mysterious stories and find comfort and a sense of belonging in this lonely world.

The role of "shepherd" symbolizes the marginalized and lost in modern society. In the dance world, Yang Nan is a forgotten person. He lives alone at the bottom of the city, with no friends, no family and no future. His image embodies those neglected and forgotten people in modern society. They have no right to speak, no status, no choice, and they can only passively accept the arrangement of life. At the same time, the sheep man also symbolizes the primitive and instinct of human beings, which is also implied by the scene of dancing with sheep in his novels.

In a word, "Dolphin Hotel" and "Sheep Man" are important symbols in Haruki Murakami's novels. They represent different meanings and thoughts, and they are also a profound reflection on modern society and human nature.
