We look at these symbols and decide what each one stands for or represents. Exercise One: Think of 3 symbolisms that you would recogniseimmediately from the novel Wuthering Heights. Draw them on a piece of paper check with the person sitting next to you to ensure they know what they indicate. If something is symbolic, it stands for or represents something else. In literature, symbolism is frequently used in poetry and novels. Often one symbol will be used throughout a book to emphasise the central theme. For instance, in Wuthering Heights, the house, Wuthering Heights, is representative of simplicity, wildness & passion. Exercise Two: Work in a pair and you are to draw a shield of symbolism. Design your own personal shield. 1. Draw a shield. 2. Split the shield into three compartments. 3. Top draw a symbolism you found in the novel. 4. Bottom left write what the symbolism represents. 5.
