All throughout the world, authors have used different forms of illusion and symbolism to irate a deeper and more thorough idea or theme. Many authors will use the bible and the theme of good and evil to help give the readers a more sympathetic character or reason of thinking. This use of symbolism is a great way to better understand ideas put forward in a novel, and in many cases helps these novels become a great read.
