As such, we might see Mulberry Street as being a metaphor for the dull realities of everyday life, which might benefit from a bit of imagination. He instead decides to see this setting in his own unique way, inspired by his imagination. In this story, Marco takes issue with the reality of Mulberry Street, seeing it as boring. In this sense, we might see Marco as a metaphor for children, who see the world with a sense of wonder. Marco creates a number of fascinating creatures and situations, using his imagination.
