2. Symbolic figure of speech

It is a figure of speech to compare something with something else, whether it be animals, objects, plants, and other symbols.

  • Her heart is so white once. (White: symbolic figure of speech from holy or clean)
  • Andini's heart is now gray. (Grey: is a symbolic figure of speech from word bcondolences)

From the explanation above, it can be concluded that the basic difference between metaphorical figure of speech and symbolic figure of speech is the word that the two figures of speech intend to compare. In metaphorical figure of speech, the word that is intended to be compared is immediately compared to another word. For example on sentenceYour face is as beautiful as the new moon. In that sentence, the word your face becomes a word to be compared, while the clause the new moon shines is a parable or metaphor of the word your face.

On the other hand, the word to be likened to a symbolic figure of speech is not accompanied by a parable of the word. Instead, the parable of the word is actually replaced by the parable of the word. An example can be seen in the sentence Andini's heart is gray. word gray in the sentence is a parable as well as a substitute for the word grieve.
