Symbolism

What Symbols Stand For A symbol is often an ordinary object, event, person, or animal to which we have attached extraordinary meaning and significance.

We use a rectangle of dyed cloth to symbolize a country.

We use a picture of a skull and crossbones to symbolize poison or danger. We send red roses as a symbol of love.

Where Do Symbols Come From? Symbols can be inherited or invented The most familiar symbols have been inherited, meaning, they have been handed down over time

Public and Inherited Symbols For example: no one really knows who first thought of using a lion as a symbol of power, courage and domination Once these qualities were associated with the animal, images of lions appeared on flags, banners, coats of arms and castle walls The lion became a public symbol that shows up in art and literature, even today! Can you think of some examples of how lions are used as a symbol of courage and power?

People through out history have endowed ordinary objects with meanings far beyond their simple meaning. A crown symbolizes royalty Five linked rings symbolize the Olympics

Invented Symbols Symbols can also be invented. What is the symbol for our school? Writers often take a new object, character, or event and make it the embodiment of some human concern. Some invented symbols in literature have become so widely known that they often have gained the status of public symbols. For example: Peter Pan is a symbol for eternal childhood

Why Create Symbols? You may ask why writers don’t just come right out and say what they mean. Symbols allow writers to suggest layers and layers of meaning- possibilities that a simple, literal statement could never convey. A symbol is like a pebble cast into a pond: It sends out ever widening ripples of meaning

How do I know if it’s a symbol? Repeat appearance Seems to be connected with a character or event Author spends long time on description

Symbolism A symbol is a word, place, character, or object that means something beyond what it is on a literal level.

Symbols in stories we have read The Outsiders: Cars symbolize________________ The Outsiders: Hair symbolizes ________________

Examples of Symbolism What do the following images symbolize?

Introduction to Symbolism Symbolism = an ordinary object, event, person, or animal to which we have attached extraordinary meaning and significance.
