A symbol is an object that represents an idea, and the snowman in To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the major symbols discussed. One day in Maycomb, it snows, but not a lot. Jem and his younger sister, Scout, decide to make a snowman. This snowman is a symbol for many different reasons and they all end up with the topic of racism. The snowman is one of the many symbols that Harper Lee uses in To Kill a Mockingbird.
The first main situation that started to change Dunstan was the snowball incident. In this particular sequence, Dunstan is narrating. One night in their town of Deptford, Percy Boyd Staunton was throwing snowballs at Dunstan Ramsay; and Dunstan was trying his best to dodge them. One last snowball is launched, and Dunstan dodges it right it time- but it hits Mrs. Dempster instead. Dunstan then finds out that the snowball had a stone hidden inside of it.
So in all the author not only conforms to stereotype of woman but also men in a positive and negative way. At the end of the scene Jem is sent to retrieve the tire from the Radleys yard, it is certain that the author would choose him over scout because of their gender. Jem criticizes Scout by saying “Scout you’re such a girl it’s mortifying.” Lee conforms to male stereotypes because Jem is a boy he must be the dominant one. On the other hand she also conforms to feminine stereotypes by making Scout stay and making her afraid of the house. Finally, there is much evidence to suggest that the author does conform to not only male but feminine stereotypes.
In this poem, and most, there are examples of figurative language. When describing the snowman, the author writes, “the pale-faced figure with bitumen eyes” as a way to give the poem life and depth, as opposed to just saying the white snowman with coal eyes. We all know what a snowman looks like, but here the snowman is taking on more of a lifelike personality. By saying, “Returns him such a God–forsaken stare, as outcast Adam gave to paradise,” the author is giving this snowman a human-like personality. In the little boys mind, the snowman is begging the young boy to come in, like a puppy.
The struggle between good and evil is the one recurring narrative of human history. The novel fist shows the struggle between Adam and Charles, who symbolically prove themselves to be Cain and Abel. The narrator describes “Young Adam was always an obedient child” (page 20) In this generation of Trasks Adam plays the role of Abel, good to the core with his innocence that let him shrink away from violence. Cyrus had gentleness toward Adam and he often spoke to him alone, showing favor towards him just like in the original story. Charles exhibited Cain-like traits, which can be seen when Adam beat him at a game, “the hatred in Charles’ face frightened him” (page 23) Charles had a competitors will to win over others, combined with his strength and malice, he was a dangerous man starting at a very young age.

Harper also uses the actions of the children symbolically. One example is the snowman that Scout and Jem built one winter. As they couldn’t make the entirety of the snowman from snow, Jem built the majority of it using dirt, and then covered it with the small amount of snow they collected. There are various meanings to this. Through the covering up of the black snowman to become white, Harper conveys the fact that beneath the surface, all human beings are equal and the same.

In Frankenstein, Victor continually refers to his creation as ‘vile wrench’, ‘abhorred devil’. This uses of epithet illustrate his immediate repulsion towards the creature and his recklessness towards conformity of life he has bestowed.

Juxtaposition between two biblical allusion, ‘Adam’ and ‘fallen angel’ suggests us the contrast in Victor and God. In Bible, Adam was the first male with gifted creation from the God’, but the creature rather refers himself more of ‘fallen angel’, ‘devil’ who plunges the eternal war against God.
