Also, please bring in an example of symbolism in action. This may be an image, a video, a book, a piece of art, an everyday item, or whatever you can find. Your example must show a deliberate (not accidental) use of symbolism; you can't show me a black cell phone and tell me it symbolizes the death of modern communication because it's black. On the other hand, if you find a short story where everyone carries black cell phones because communication is a skill that has been killed by technology, fabulous! Remember our definition:
- Symbolism: When an image - visual or described - represents a deep, sometimes abstract idea or meaning.
