What Is Symbolism in Literature? Symbolism is when the author uses an object or reference to add deeper meaning to a story. Symbolism in literature can be subtle or obvious, used sparingly or heavy-handedly. An author may repeatedly use the same object to convey deeper meaning or may use variations of the same object to create an overarching mood or feeling. Symbolism is often used to support a literary theme in a subtle manner.

How Do Writers Use Symbolism? Writers insert symbols into their writing to allude to a feeling, mood or attitude without directly stating the perspective or mood intended. Symbolism is supplemental to the story. Writers use symbolism to supplement their work as they write short stories or poetry. Writers weave symbols into their stories so that the symbols support the story line and mood, rather than sticking out like an obvious literary device.

Authors include symbolism in their work to give it deeper meaning, using figurative language and description. Symbolism is the implied or interpreted being of an object or ritual found in writing, art and customs.
