Are You For Or Against Symbolism?
I hate symbolism. When I read the Great Gatsby in AP english years ago, my teacher was always saying that everything was symbolism. It was very annoying and made me hate the book. I don't beleive that authors mean for everything in their book to be symbolism. Maybe some of it, but I think the academics just think too much about it.
Reply:I love symbolism, if it's used correctly and not in every other aspect of the book. I don't know about that red couch, thing, I would never make that connection. Maybe your teacher's a perv...
But I agree, I don't like symbolism if it's like Nathaniel Hawthorn's. He gets a little too into it.

Reply:I believe in accidental symbolism. Readers can find symbolism to suit a need. Authors would need a lifetime to insert symbols in the required web that readers percieve.
Reply:i leave symbolism to the symbol minded
Reply:I am for it but i am A writer so my opinion might not be the most perfact
