Else’s statement at the end of the story suggests this about both the lamp’s symbolic meaning and the story’s theme:

  • The lamp symbolized the realization of a new feeling where Else could be proud to identify with the upper class in society. This aligns with the theme of the story which is that discrimination causes ill feelings among people.

What is the meaning of the lamp?

In the story, titled, Dollhouse by Katherine Mansfield, the lamp was a symbol of inclusion which Else and her sister did not feel in the initial part of the story. At the end of the story, Else softly said that she had seen the little lamp.

This little lamp was to foreshadow the light and love that she had missed out on from the other girls. So, by making the statement above, the lamp pointed to the new feeling of inclusion that Else now felt.
