Lucie's first appearance in the novel symbolizes the continuation of kindness in the world, because like her mother, both have very kind-hearts to match their sweet appearances.
“That time passed, and her little Lucie lay on her bosom. Then, among the advancing echoes, on there was the tread of her tiny feet and the sound of her prattling words. Let greater echoes resound as they would, the young mother at the cradle side could always hear those coming. They came, and the shady house was sunny with a child’s laugh, and the Divine friend of children, to whom in her trouble she has confided hers, seemed to take her child His arms, as He took the child of old and made it a sacred joy to her” ( Book 2, Chaper 21)
This quote shows, through great imagery and metaphors, how important Little Lucie was to many. Little Lucie is perhaps the most innocent in the novel. The use of the quote " the shady house was sunny with the child's laugh" is a great metaphor of how Little Lucie is sunshine in a war of darkness. When everyone loses their morals and values, Little Lucie keeps everyone grounded and stable.
