Dear Dead Beat,
what is the difference between an image and a symbol?
Embarassed.
Dear Embarassed,
rechristen yourself - call yourself Brave or Willing to Learn.
Actually it is a huge question, but Dead Beat thinks the answer is simple -
a symbol is an image that gets repeated. Therefore a mirror is an image. Repeat it however and the image takes on great meaning or we read more into it and it becomes symbolic.
If I write a poem and mention a frog it is an image - if I repeatedly write about the frog it takes on more meaning - a symbol.
Next question, by the way - what is an image?
