Symbolism

Example #1

We find symbolic value in Shakespeare’s famous monologue in his play As you Like It:

“All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
they have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,”

  1. PS: Are you the one who wanted to befriend me on FB?? If yes plz do so again I will gladly accept your friendship this time!! Sorry not to have realised who you were the first time!!!

  2. Very interesting… ALways thought there was a very thin line between surrealism and symbolism but it’s interesting to see how that line and the way it’s drawn makes the whole difference between onirism (Surrealism) and symbolism. TY for this very enlightening post!
