SYMBOLS IN LITERATURE ●A symbol is the use of a concrete object to represent an abstract idea. ●Occurs when an object, person, or situation represents an abstract idea in addition to a literal meaning. ●Symbols may appear in literature in a number of different ways: an object, a word, a figure of speech, an action, an event, or a character. ●Over time, certain symbols have become ‘conventional’ or ‘traditional’ literary symbols because they have an agreed upon meaning, so they can be used to suggest universal ideas. (scribd.com)scribd.com

WHAT IS A SYMBOL? ●a sign, shape or object which is used to represent something else. A heart shape is the symbol of love. ●something that is used to represent a quality or idea. Water, a symbol of life, recurs as an image throughout her poems. ●a number, letter or sign used in mathematics, music, science, etc. The symbol for oxygen is O2. ●An object can be described as a symbol of something else if it seems to represent it because it is connected with it in a lot of people's minds. The private jet is a symbol of wealth. (dictionary.cambridge.org)dictionary.cambridge.org

OTHER COMMON SYMBOLS Walls- barriers between people Both physical and mental

THE PRIMARY SYMBOL IN "MENDING WALL" IS THE WALL BORDERING THE NARRATOR'S PROPERTY. THE PHYSICAL BARRIER OF THE WALL REPRESENTS THE PSYCHOLOGICAL OR SYMBOLIC BARRIER BETWEEN THE NARRATOR AND HIS NEIGHBOR. THE SEASON OF SPRING, WHICH DETERIORATES THE WALL, COULD SYMBOLIZE THE NARRATOR'S REPRESSED FEELING THAT HE WOULD LIKE THE WALL TO COME DOWN AND TO HAVE A CLOSER RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, OR, CONVERSELY, IT COULD ALSO REINFORCE HIS DESIRE TO KEEP THE WALL IN PLACE SINCE HE IS FIXING IT THROUGHOUT THE POEM. THE NEIGHBOR COULD SYMBOLIZE THE NARRATOR'S DISTRUST OF SOCIETY, SINCE HE SHOWS THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO REMAIN SEPARATED BY THE FENCE.
