FAQ About The Influence of Symbolism in Modern Art and Literature

What is the difference between symbolism and allegory?

Symbolism involves using a symbol to represent an idea or concept, often with layers of meaning that can change and evolve. Allegory, on the other hand, is a narrative with a one-to-one counterpart to the literal meaning, where the characters or events symbolically represent broader concepts directly.
