Example of Symbolism
Symbolism refers to the process of using symbolic characters, metaphors, and storylines to make a broader, often complex, point. A character may represent an ideal, an analogy to a social issue, or situational context. Symbolism was also the name of a French literary movement in the late 19th century. Symbolism has since merged with general literary practice. |

| Voltaire: Candide: Dr. Pangloss represents the concept that 'all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds'. Aldous Huxley:Antic Hay: Mr. Mercaptan (the name refers to a hydrogen/sulfur compound) is a character who drives the storyline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolism https://www.umich.edu/~umfandsf/symbolismproject/symbolism.html/ |
