SummaryWriters employ a wide variety of devices to further enhance the nature of their works. Whether through eloquent description or profound repetition, certain aspects of an author’s technique lend a stronger reflection of the theme or idea behind the simple story. The effect can be likened to an onion, where upon layer after layer is firmly established making something so simple so much more complex and aningful. Symbolism is a very powerful and engaging factor to the reader, who may use it to form an even stronger bond or understanding with the material through association. In comparison with themselves, the reader begins to note the differences such symbols and allegories hold with relation to the actual character in the work, realizing that these
differences can be attributed to the subject’s point-of-view. The author’s ability to expound and tailor the devices of literature gives words a power beyond themselves.
