ABSTRACT
This paper first demonstrates the main plots and the general idea of the novel, then gives a brief analysis of former study of symbolism in this novel. The following three main parts make a further study of the use of symbolism in the novel from macroscopic view and microscopic view respectively and finally explore the function of symbolism in the novel. The former two parts illustrate the use of symbolism which is pertaining to the title, chapters, text and characters. These aspects of study serve as the pivotal foundation for the final part of the body which discusses the consistency of symbolism both from macroscopic and microscopic views. Moreover, this chapter explores the function of symbolism in the sublimation of main idea of the novel. Finally, it analyzes the value and significance of the use of symbolism in this novel.
