The topic of symbolism in literature is prone to controversy, as readers debate the extent to which symbolism is intended by the author, and the injection of psychology, history, and politics into the story. But symbolism is more than that: it's a way for readers to connect the story-world to their own reality. Likewise, authors have the opportunity to expore their own writing process and philosophies within the narrative.
Welcome to this short, educational video explaining what symbolism is in literature. Here, Madeleine draws on three main examples: Tolkien's Middle Earth, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, and Atonement by Ian McEwan. There are no spoilers. Also, Madeleine gives her own opinion into the difference between allegory and symbolism, as well as the role of psychology in literary analysis.
