Such characters usually appear briefly and remain slightly mysterious. In Joseph Cornard’s Heart of Darkness, a steamship pany that hires men to work in Congo maintains in its waiting room two women who knit black wool—they symbolize the classical Fates. Such a character is seen as a portrait rather than as a person, at least portrait like. Faulkner’s Miss Emily, twice appears at a window of her houses “l(fā)ike the carven torso of an idol in the niche.” Though Faulkner invests her with life and vigor, he also clothes her in symbolic hints: she seems almost to松江區(qū)泖港鎮(zhèn)生態(tài)農(nóng)業(yè)休閑觀光旅游項目可研報告 目 錄第一章 總 論 .........................................1一、項目名 稱 ............................................1三、可行性研究的依據(jù) ....................................1四、項目概況 ............................................1五、可行性研究的主要結(jié)論及建議 ..........................2第 二 章 項 目 背 景 及 發(fā) 展 概 況 ............................3一、市松江區(qū)概況地理位置 ............................................3自然狀況 ............................................33發(fā)展思路 .............................................84形象定位 .............................................8三 ． 項 目 提 出 的 背 景 和 意 義 .............................9生態(tài)觀光農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展前景 ................................9生態(tài)觀光農(nóng)業(yè)發(fā)展趨勢 ................................9生態(tài)觀光農(nóng)業(yè)的基本特點 .............................10生態(tài)農(nóng)業(yè)觀光園發(fā)展定位 .............................11第三章觀光農(nóng)業(yè)生態(tài)園規(guī)劃原則和總體思路types of sentence are used, what is their function? Sentence plexity: Do sentences on whole have a simple or a plex structure? What is the average sentence length? Does plexity vary strikingly from one sentence to another? Is plexity mainly due to (i) coordination, (ii) subordination, (iii) juxtaposition of clauses or of other equivalent structures? In what parts of the text does plexity tend to occur? clause types: What types of clauses are favored—relative clauses, adverbial clauses, or different types of nominal clauses? Are nonfinite forms monly used, and if so, of what types are they (infinitive, ing form, ed form, verbless structure)? What is their function? Clause structure: Is there anything significant about clause elements (eg frequency of objects, adverbials, plements。 its syllables, the narrator tells us, “cast an Eastern enchantment over me.” Even a locale, or a feature of physical topography, can provide rich symbolic suggestions.

Symbolism The term symbolism refers to the use of symbols, or to a set of related symbols, which is one of the devices that enrich short fiction and pensate for its briefness in space. 2. There are two broad types of literary symbols Symbol is generally acknowledged to be one of the most frequently employed devices in poetry. In works of fiction it is no less frequent and no less important. The fact is that, when a reader reads a work of fiction, his focus is mostly cast upon the plot, the character, and the language used, so that the symbols are automatically backgrounded on the reader’s part. But in some novels and stories, the symbolism looms so large that the reader will fail to get a prehensive understanding of the work without paying special attention to the symbols. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne is one of such works. The very title points to a double symbol: the scarlet letter A worn by Hester conveys a multiple of senses which differ greatly from what it literally stands for, and the work eventually develops into a test and critique of symbols themselves. Thomas Pynchon’s V. continues along much the same line, testing an alphabetical symbol. Another example is Herman Melville’s MobyDick, in which the huge white whale in the title of the book acquires greater meaning than the literal dictionarydefinition of an aquatic mammal. It also suggests more than the devil, to whom some of the characters liken it. The huge whale, as the story unfolds, es to imply an amplitude of meanings: among them the forces of nature and the whole universe. Literary symbols are of two broad types: one type includes those embodying universal suggestions of meaning. Flowing water suggests time and eternity, a journey into the underworld and return from it is interpreted as a spiritual experience or a dark night of the soul, and a kind of redemptive odyssey. Such symbols are used widely (and sometimes unconsciously) in western literature. The other type of symbol secures its suggestiveness not from qualities inherent in itself but from the way in which it is used in a given work, in a special context. Thus, in MobyDick the voyage, the land, and the ocean are objects pregnant with meanings that seem almost independent of the author’s use of them in the story。 he hints that some sad, passionate spirit is brooding as it watches the passing procession of humanity. Such an object is a symbol: in literature, a symbol is a thing that refers or suggests more than its literal meaning. There are quite a lot of symbols that appear in ordinary life, for the use of symbol is by no means of limited to literature and art. For instance, a dove is a symbol of peace, the flag is the symbol of a country, and the cross is the symbol of the Christian religion. These are symbols adopted by a whole society and are recognized by all members of such a society. There are other kinds of symbols, such as figure 3, which may be abstract symbols. But symbols in literature works are different from either of the other types. Generally speaking, a literary symbol does not have a mon social acceptance, as does the flag。 for instance, the ways sentences are connected. This is the internal anization of a text. Under context, roughly the material, mental, personal, interactional, social, institutional, cul
