Thomas Pynchon’s V. cont inues al ong much the same l ine, test ing an al phabeti cal sym bol . Anot her example i s Herm an Melvi l e’ s MobyDi ck, i n whi ch the huge whit e whale i n the t it le of t he book acquir es gr eat er m eani ng than the l it er al di cti onar y defi ni ti on of an aquati c mammal . It also suggests mor e than t he devi l, to whom some of the characters liken i t. The huge whal e, as t he st ory unf olds, es to impl y an ampli tude of meani ngs: among t hem the f orces of nat ur e and the whol e universe. Li ter ar y symbols are of t wo broad t ypes: one type incl udes those embodyi ng universal suggest ions of meani ng. Fl owing wat er suggests time and et erni ty, a journey i nto t he underwor l d and retur n f rom it is inter pr eted as a spir it ual exper ience or a dar k night of the soul , and a ki nd of redempti ve odyssey. Such symbols ar e used wi dely ( and som et imes unconsciously) in west er n l iter ature. The ot her t ype of symbol secures i ts suggesti venes not f rom qual it ies inherent in i tself but fr om t he way in which i t is used in a gi ven work, in a special cont ext . Thus, in MobyDi ck the voyage, the l and, and the ocean ar e objects pr egnant wi t h meani ngs that seem al most i ndependent of the author’ s use of t hem in the stor y。 on t he other hand, the whi te whal e is i nvested wi th dif ferent meani ngs for dif fer ent crew members t hrough the handling of m at eri al s in the novel . Simi larl y, in Hemi ngway’ s A Far ewel l to Ar ms, rain, whi ch is gener al y regarded as a sym bol of l if e (especial ly i n spri ng) , and whi ch is a mil dly annoyi ng met eor ol ogical phenomenon i n t he opening chapter, i s convert ed into a sym bol of deat h thr ough the uses t o which i t is put in the wor k. 3. Symbols i n f icti on are inanim ate obj ect s Of ten sym bol s we m et in fi ct ion ar e inanim at e objects. I n Wil li am Faulker’ s “A Rose for Emi ly,” Mi s Em il y’ s invisi bl e but per cept ible wat ch ti cki ng at he end of a gol den chain not onl y i ndi cat es t he passage of t ime, but suggest s that tim e passes wit hout even bei ng not iced by t he watch’s owner. The golden chai n to which i t is at ached car r ies suggest ions of wealth and aut hor it y. Ot her t hings may also f unct ion symboli cal ly. In James Joyce’s “Araby, ” the very name of t he bazzar, Ar aby—the poetic nam e for Ar abi a—suggests magi c, r om ance, and The Arabian Nights。 it s syl lables, the nar ator tel s us, “cast an East ern enchant ment over me.” Even a l ocal e, or a f eat ur e of physi cal topography, can provide r ich symboli c suggestions. The caf 233。 in Er nest Hemi ngway’ s “A Cl ean, Wel Li ghted Place” is not merel y a caf233。 , but an i sl and of r efuge f rom sl eepl ess night , chaos, loneli ness, ol d age, t he meani ngl esness of li fe, and im pending death. In some novels and stor ies, some characters ar e sym bol ic. Such character s usual y appear bri ef ly and r emain sl ightl y mysteri ous. I n Joseph Cornard’ s Heart of Darkness , a st eamship pany t hat hir es men to work in Congo mai nt ains in it s wait ing r oom two women who kni t bl ack wool —they symbol ize t he cl asical Fat es. Such a char act er i s sen as a port r ai t rather t han as a per son, at l east por t r ai t l i ke. Faul kner ’ s Mi ss Em i l y, t wi ce appear s at a wi ndow of her houses “l i ke t he car ven t or so of an i dol i n t he ni che. ” Though Faul kner i nvest s her wi t h l i f e and vi gor , he al so cl ot hes her i n sym bol i c hi nt s: she seem s al m ost to t ypes of sentence are used, what is t hei r functi on?
