Symbol - Definition of Literary Term. The symbol is the most complex metaphorical device of word game. In its simplest sense, it is a comparison between a concrete entity and an abstract idea. So, the 'rose' as representing 'love', 'youth' or 'beauty', is a symbol.
A symbol is 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.
