|
| Is there something in the story that we are encouraged |
|||||||||
 |
|||||||||
| to read on another
level? |
|||||||||
| Sometimes, the entire story is symbolic (“Young |
|||||||||
|
|||||||||
| Goodman
Brown, by Hawthorne), in which case it |
|||||||||
| reaches
the status of myth or allegory. |
|||||||||
| Metaphor: something is equated to something else: |
|||||||||
|
|||||||||
| “Her
hair was a soft gold helmet.” Simile, something is |
|||||||||
| likened
to something else: “eyes as blue as the sky.” |
