Charles Darwin, an English natural scientist believed: "A scientific man should have no desires, no affections, - a mere heart of stone" (Darwin). This idea of ​​a heart of stone is reflected in Margaret Laurence's story “The Stone Angel”. Her use of the title "The Stone Angel" describes the protagonist Hagar and how her mother's angel tombstone reflects on Hagar as a character. This is the importance of the title “The Stone Angel”. In “The Stone Angel” Laurence uses the title to describe the main character Hagar. The title has very specific attributions. The stone has no emotions and is extremely hard and cold. Just like the protagonist Hagar. “I wouldn't let him see me cry, I was so angry” (Laurence 9). This is the part where Hagar's father scolds her for embarrassing him in his store. It shows how emotionless Hagar is and how she won't let anyone see how she truly feels. Just like stone, it is solid and cold. “But all I could think about was that meek woman I had never seen, the woman who was said to look so much like Dan and when she inherited a fragility from whom I couldn't help but detest, however much a part of wanted to sympathize with me. Playing at being her – it was beyond me” (Laurence 25). Hagar is such a “stone” that she does not allow herself to comfort her dying brother Dan. She is so worried about appearing soft, that she allows her pride to take over instead of showing her true emotions. This resembles Hagar in a way that valorizes her pride and "stone-like" characteristics rather than exuding her emotions. The “stone-like” features represent the Stone Angel himself. This is the headstone that stands in front of the tomb of Hagar's mother. The title is so important because it really defines Hagar as a character. S...... in the center of the sheet ...... represents the title "The Stone Angel" both literally and figuratively. Literally because Hagar has features like the tombstone and figuratively because Hagar is an angel. “I lie there huge and still” (Laurence 251). This represents Hagar who is like an angel, she is "still". Hagar does not allow herself to be influenced or persuaded. Like an angel it is fixed in place, just like the tombstone which is literally an angel made of stone. Laurence consciously showed the importance of the title throughout the entire story. He provided very important deductions between the character of Hagar and the meaning of the title "The Stone Angel". He also used the gravestone carved in the shape of an angel reflecting Hagar to demonstrate the meaning and importance of the title. Whether it's Hagar's lack of emotion or "angelic" qualities, the importance of the title has been demonstrated through these attributions.
