Definition: A person, place, action, word, or thing that (by association, resemblance, or convention) represents something other than itself. Verb: symbolize. Adjective: symbolic.In the broadest sense of the term, all words are symbols.(See also sign .) In a literary sense, says William Harmon, a symbol combines a literal and sensuous quality with an abstract or suggestive aspect (A Handbook to Literature, 2006). In language studies, symbol is sometimes used as another term for logograph. In Poe's 'The Raven,' death isn't the symbol; the bird is. 2  In Crane's The Red Badge of Courage, courage isn't the symbol; blood is. 3  Symbols are usually objects, but actions can also work as symbols--thus the term 'symbolic gesture.'.  4 A symbol means more than itself, but first it means itself.
