Thus, it is evident that Richard Parker can be seen as a physical symbol of Pi’s god, as he revered and treated both entities in a similar sacred manner. In another light, one may see Richard Parker as not solely a symbolic representation of Pi’s unique religion, but as a physical manifestation of his god on the lifeboat.
