What is a symbol?
A symbol is something that stands for, or represents, something else.
They are learned associations, arising mainly out of cultural traditions.

Symbols in literature…
• Are shaped by our own associations as well as the author’s
Moby-Dick, the white whale, is usually interpreted as a symbol of evil, God, or an indifferent universe. (www.pbs.org)
The lion is a symbol of bravery, strength, and power.
•Conventional symbols: those widely recognized by society•Contextual symbols: those whose meaning are determined mainly by the author

• Are related to the culture they come from. The ones here come mainly from a western/Eurocentric tradition
• Can be recognized by the frequency an object or character is mentioned in a piece of literature--if it is mentioned often, it is probably important. Or, look at how much detail is used in describing an object. (“How to Understand Symbolism in Literature”, www.ehow.com)

• Can stand for more than one thing
Symbols in literature…
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: nothing clearly represents one particular thing--objects are generally contained in their individual episode. The garden may symbolize the Garden of Eden, an idyllic space of beauty and innocence that Alice is not permitted to access. Also, the garden may represent the experience of desire, in that Alice focuses her energy and emotion on trying to attain it. The two symbolic meanings work together to underscore Alice's desire to hold onto her feelings of childlike innocence that she must relinquish as she matures.
