[{"term"=>"toyhouse", "description"=>"In literature, a toyhouse can symbolize a place of safety and comfort, where one can escape the harsh realities of the outside world. For example, in the novel 'The Secret Garden' by Frances Hodgson Burnett, the protagonist Mary Lennox discovers a hidden garden behind the walls of her uncle's mansion, which she names 'The Secret Garden'. The garden becomes a sanctuary for Mary, where she can escape the loneliness and isolation of her life at the mansion. The garden also helps Mary to heal the emotional wounds that she has suffered as a result of the tragic events in her life. In this way, the toyhouse symbolized by the secret garden becomes a powerful and transformative force in Mary's life, helping her to discover the joy and beauty of the world around her, and to learn the importance of love, compassion, and friendship in the lives of all beings."}]
