The Tower

An old traditional public house stands proud and firm. Behind the pub a dark sinister sky hangs and ghostly white trees show rot and decay. The pub lights are on but no one is at home. The drinkers have all gone; they have filtered off to wine bars and theme pubs. The tower is a symbol of false security; the thick strong walls, traditional ales and warm fire are no security from cheap prices and a fashionable atmosphere.

Dignified: A sudden and drastic change that, while shocking, is productive in the long run. The crumbling of old outdated values. Resistance to change or the inability to cope with new circumstances or principles. Nothing lasts forever. The local may be secure and familiar but don't you think it was time you drank further afield?

Ill dignified: The imprisonment of the mind through outdated values and ethics. There is security but it is at the expense of creativity and emotional expression. The inability to change ones circumstances. Surprise news or actions will disrupt the status quo and cause major upheaval. Any revelations should be uncovered gradually. You may be stuck in one pub for the moment but you won't be stuck here forever.
