What does Morries Bed symbolize is tuesdays with Morrie?
From Sparknotes, hope it helps. Morrie’s bed Morrie’s aphorism, “When you’re in bed, you’re dead,” eventually comes true. Throughout Morrie’s struggle with ALS, he refuses to stay in bed, as he sees it as a form of surrender, and instead opts to rest in the chair in his study. Morrie intends to live his last days as fully as he can, and knows that if he is to remain in bed, he will surrender himself to death by forfeiting the simple enjoyment he gets from lying in his study. In his study, photographs of loved ones, and the books he has collected in his lifetime surround Morrie. There, he can look outside of his window, and though he cannot go outside, he admires the beauty of the seasons and the plant and animal life outdoors. It is not until Morrie’s final days that he does stay in bed, when he has at last accepted and readied himself for death.
