7. Objects in literature obviously exist as face-value, but also often represent something else. For example… Dr. Jekyll’s cheval-glass (full-length mirror) is a common item in many homes then and now, useful for checking one’s appearance. However, it is also a mute witness to Dr. Jekyll’s transformations. This is telling because the mirror gives Jekyll a chance to see his transmogrification (to change grotesquely) into Hyde, who is himself a reflection of Jekyll’s “id”, his inner selfish and unseemly desires.

11. It had a poverty-stricken appearance with its dusty yellow paper peeling off the walls, and it was so low-pitched that a man of more than average height was ill at ease in it…there were three old chairs rather rickety; a painted table in the corner on which lay a few manuscripts and books; the dust that lay thick upon them showed that they had long been untouched. What could Raskolnikov’s garret symbolize?

12. On an exceptionally hot evening early in July a young man came out of the garret in which he lodged in S. Place and walked slowly, as though in hesitation, towards K. Bridge. He had successfully avoided meeting his landlady on the staircase…every time he went out he was obliged to pass her kitchen…and each time he passed, the young man had a sick, frightened feeling, which made him scowl and feel ashamed.
