Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In literature, authors have long favoured the use of symbols as a literary device. The importance of symbolism can be seen in the earliest recorded forms of human storytelling cave paintings and hieroglyphics which are quite literally symbols representing more complex narratives or beliefs. Symbolism allows writers to express complex ideas while giving the reader a visual, sensory experience.
