II. About the title
When we u a word or phra in a metaphorical way, we are using it in a way which has developed from its literal meaning. The literal meaning of the pickle jar is a container for prerved vegetables. Its metaphorical meaning reprents the father’s love for his son, and the importance of education to give him a better, richer life.
