Symbolism can bea symbol that uses words or figures/pictures. For example throwing away an old jacket that was used many times might mean that said person is starting from a clean slate(using symbols with words). Another example is that a cross might mean God or Allah, Jesus or Muhammad(using symbols

I propose this section is parked here in the discussion section or otherwise deleted from the article. It looks like the confused fragment of someone's essay and is not particularly about symbolism. This is also so of the last two sentences in the first paragraph in the lead that are also not

Well, that's because it was culled from the confused essay that the article originally was. I thought it was salvageable, and what it deals with is relevant: symbolism really can be dependent on context. We may wish to change the title to something like "Context and Symbolism" to make that

It seems to me that if the only source we can find for symbolism is a dictionary then this article is dangerously close to being non-notable and ripe for deletion.

As for those sentences, I don't really know. I didn't have anything to do with them. I don't see why symbolism should be limited to non-totemic symbols. -

I would also like to see a section on symbolic confusion included here. I might add it myself, but I have no academic sources handy for references. -
