The Stitches

Sister Witch stitches Tam's soul to Ned's body which is a symbol of her desperation to save her sons. She may not have foreseen the negative consequences this would have on both. Though the stitches are invisible, Ned is aware of their presence.

The Stack of Wood

The woodcutter has a huge stack of wood behind their cottage which is a symbol of his inability to even look at Ned. He feels guilty that he could not save both boys, and he spends all his time working to avoid facing his wife and son.

The Sign

There is a sign over Sister Witch's door that is a symbol of the fear and hatred some of the villagers feel toward her. The fact that she chose to leave it for clarification is a symbol that she embraces her role in the community.
