What is Symbolism? How is this different from metaphors?
• Symbolism – A method of attaching sentiments, images, traits, and ideas to the attributes of another image. • Ex. = peace• Symbols are interpretive and subjective (their meaning
can changed based on who reads a text).• Symbols imply and suggest.• Just as symbols are subjective, the themes they
supplement are as well.• Extended metaphor – a literary comparison
between two objects that continues throughout an entire work, text, or story.• Metaphors are direct substitution and more objective.• These devices supplement allegory (a narrative that is
meant to be compared to another narrative).

• However, certain colors and images reference ideas that are universal to many cultures and human experiences.• Ex. For almost all people, is a symbol of death or
danger.
