| So, these are her candles that she blows out. Must be a metaphor for her love (as rare and outdated as candles are at the age of electricity), which didn't let him go - or kept alive - all against his will or conscious? Like "Stop loving me!" - and she stops, whatever he says. ??? (One must read first before guessing though. I promise I will.) |

| I should have called it a symbol, not a metaphor, from what I seem to remember, a symbol being an embodied metaphor... |
