Show transcript
In narratives, objects can symbolise key themes or ideas.
Galloway's key symbol is the cello which could represent hope, joy or defiance.
You can craft a symbol in your own narrative through the use of an important object, colour, weather or event.
Using adjectives to describe the object can help the symbol take on its intended meaning.
The way in which a character treats or interacts with an object can help bring the meaning of your symbol to life.
