Abstract
Symbolism, closely related to imagery, served to indicate an object or
an idea. It is possible for the author to refer to the meaning indirectly when
he believes his themes expressed eloquently by using symbols rather than by
referring to the aim directly. In any literary topic, an author enhances the
themes of his writing through using certain symbols to add more richness and
color. Objects often used as indications to create meaning in a work.
Throughout various forms of literature, environmental elements such as a lonely
streetlight, tree, scarecrow, etc., help readers to understand and follow
meaningfully the event sequences.
To shed the light on the significant use of some of the environmental
elements, the paper includes two main parts; the first is concerned with some
environmental elements discussed separately in two plays through sub parts while
the second part discusses some other, environmental elements in two novels
through sub parts. Each sub part stresses on a symbolic literary reference that
differs in meaning but all devoted to define, at least, one essential theme.
The first part is mainly concerned with dramatic elements that presented
in certain plays. The function of the “Dry trees” or "leafless trees"
as a theme naturalistically devoted to explain poor emotions and lifeless meaning
that obviously seen in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. This part
also deals with the element of the “scarecrow” in Marina Carr’s Women and
Scarecrow. The second part is concerned with the use of “postbox” in
waiting glimpses of hope in Alice Walker's The Color Purple. This part
also sheds the light on the significance of the “windmill” in George Orwell’s Animal
Farm as the writer gave an alternative meaning for industrialization.
