Cоnsider the fоllоwing informаtion аbout the phrаse " white elephant:" Conventional definition: A white elephant is a possession that its owner cannot dispose of without extreme difficulty, and whose cost, particularly that of maintenance, is out of proportion to its usefulness. Historical Context: In ancient times, the white elephant was sacred and possessed only by the wealthiest and most powerful. Due to its sacred status, it could not be put to work. Because the animals were sacred and protected by law, receiving one from a monarch was both a blessing and a curse. It was a blessing because it was a gift of honor, but a curse. After all, the recipient had to feed and care for it but could neither sell it nor put it to use. Discuss the symbolic significance of the “white elephants” image. What might it represent, and why is its meaning deliberately ambiguous?
