Imagery and Symbolism
Introduction
Many authors use imagery to explain or describe sensitive experiences to the text. For instance, visual imagery, which pertains to sight, allows the reader clearly see the events and places in the entire text. Auditory imagery, which pertains sound and in the form of onomatopoeia uses languages like bells chimed and crows (Atwood, 40). Other forms of imageries include olfactory imagery, gustatory imagery, tactile imagery, kinaesthetic imagery, and Organic imagery. Symbolism on the other side means the interpretation form of an object or ritual used in writing, customs, and arts. Authors use symbolism because they have a deeper meaning. An author may choose to use something like object, word, or an item to signify some idea. For example, an author can use a rose to symbolize love.
