I'll be glad to help you with this question, but I want to make sure you're aware that it doesn't involve mathematical expressions or calculations. Here's how I would approach this question:

There are three main types of symbolism in literature: - **Objective Symbolism**: This occurs when an author uses an object, character, or place to represent an idea or concept. The symbol has a fixed meaning that doesn't change throughout the work. An example of objective symbolism is the white whale in Moby Dick, which symbolizes an unreachable, destructive obsession. - **Subjective Symbolism**: In this case, the symbol's meaning is not fixed and may change depending on the context or the reader's interpretation. Subjective symbolism relies on the reader's experiences and emotions to create meaning. An example of subjective symbolism is the color red in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, which can represent love, passion, danger, or bloodshed. - **Allegory**: An allegory is a symbolic representation of abstract ideas or principles in narrative, dramatic, or pictorial form. In an allegory, characters, places, or events have a deeper, symbolic meaning that relates to a broader theme or message. For example, George Orwell's Animal Farm is an allegory for the Russian Revolution and the rise of the Soviet Union.
