3. Perrine’s: Figurative Language 2 (Symbol/Allegory)
What is the difference between symbol and allegory (according to Perrine’s?
Symbol
“means what it is and something more, too”
“so general in its meaning that it can suggest a great variety of specific meanings”
“we should never assume that because the meaning of a symbol is more or less open, we may make it mean anything we choose”
“[w]hatever our interpretation of a symbolic poem, it must be tied firmly to the facts of the poem”
Allegory
Text which “has a second meaning beneath the surface”
Extended metaphor, “series of related symbols”
“puts less emphasis on the images for their own sake [like symbolism does] and more on their ulterior meanings
Meanings are pretty definite (unlike with symbols)

What symbolism do we see?
What emotional responses are evoked by the imagery?
