The Bell of Atri by James Baldwin br Throughout society and culture all around the world, a bell has a multitude of symbolic meanings and purposes. Bells can symbolize beginnings and endings, a call to order, or even a command or a warning.br The King is depicted as being regal and benevolent, being the one to have the Justice Bell placed in the center of Atri, which allows people to ring the bell to let the king's judges know that they've been wronged and need help for justice to be served to those who wronged the people that come to ring the people.br The old horse is a central character in the video's story, as it inadvertently rings the bell by chewing on the grapevine. This action initiates the video's climax, leading to the trial and the merchant's punishment. The horse symbolizes the mistreated and the video's message of compassion and justice for the neglected.
