Question:

Help With Symbolism?

Heya.

I've been trying hard to find some symbolisms that I can use in my book or in the title of my book but can't find a good site.

I've found a few but the main themes are-

Betrayal
Sacrifice
Love
Power
Evil
Darkness

It's a fantasy type novel so am limited to certain things.

Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks xxxxxx


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Okay, here are some props/characteristics you can use to symbolise the followings.

Love : Flowers, gardens, Long lashes of the main girl character, bright sunshine, candles etc symbolizes love in an incident if used appropriately.

For evil and darkness, try using smell, not just bad smells but smell of a lot of flowers can symbolizes evil because it reminds on funeral. "White roses tied with a black silk ribbon and flickering candle creating a long shadow of them in the wall" i think it creates enough evil.

Power: Physical Strength, sparkling eyes, wicked smile, heavy footsteps kinda creates the sense of power.
