As to why the title is "The Name of the Rose", different people have different interpretations. And I think there is no need for too complicated extension and deduction, since religion itself can be understood. The people in black in the story are all priests of Santo Domingo. This sect emphasizes that they believe in the Rosary taught by the Virgin Mary; the priests who wear gray are all priests of St. Francis. Our Lady gave her Son to save the world's poor. And the representative symbol of the Virgin is the rose - this is an idea from a semiotician. There is also the only female character in the story, the daughter from a poor peasant family, who, although only appeared in a few scenes, is also an important symbolic image.
The stigma attached to women by traditional Catholicism can be seen from the story, and the Franciscan priest William made it clear that he did not believe that God created women to be so wicked and not endowed with any virtues. Although a large section of this point of view has been deleted from the film, there is no doubt that the Virgin is a woman, and the virtues of women and the kindness and benevolence of the world are worthy of praise. The rose can also be the symbol of all women.
As a trainee who swore an oath to God, Adsso in the story should not have worldly love and lust, but from the end of the story we can also see that it is the worldly love that happened by chance with the peasant girl this time. Make him mature overnight. Therefore, love is the most beautiful emotion in the world. It makes people always have compassion for the world and the brilliance of humanity. If you do not experience this baptism, you will never have this feeling.
