Literature works on different levels.  Apart form the literal meaning, there can be meanings by analogy.  For example, a story may have parallels in your life that have special meaning to you.  Most literature can say something about the general - although it is literally about the specific.  (A love story about Janet and John could contain truths about love in general, for example).\n\nLiterary works - Shakespeare's Macbeth for example - are praised for their insights into human life in general rather than what they tell us about the historical character of Macbeth in particular.  (That would be history, not literature, and judged according to how it actually concurs with the facts.)\n\nLiterature is different from other types of written discourse in that it is judged only on its internal logic and not on its relevance or consistency with the outside world.  Literature is generally regarded as a poetic construct.

According to the Harmon and Holman Handbook to Literature:\n\nMetaphor: An analogy indentifying one object with another and ascribing to the first object one or more of the qualities of the second.\n-Basically it is a comparison to make a point or create an image.\n\nSymbol:  Something that is itself and also stands for something else.  In the literary sense, a symbol combines a literal and sensuous quality with an abstract or suggestive aspect.

I am looking for an idea for a tattoo I'd like to get. My name is Tara and I read that it means 'Star' in Sanskrit. Would anyone be able to show me what Star looks like written in Sanskrit? Or is there some Sanskrit symbol that means Star, like the symbol for OM? Any help or direction to another website would be greatly appreciated.

You could use either universal or existential symbolism for "not all"\n\nExample:  Not all birds are red.\n\nThis would translate to (3x) (Bx .  ~Rx)\nread as "there is at least one thing x such that x is a bird and x is not red"\n\nor\n\n~(x) (Bx -> Rx)\nread as "it is false that for everything x, if x is a bird then x is red"\n\nnote that the existential form uses a conjuction, while the universal form uses material implication (horseshoe).

What is the context - that is, where are you seeing that symbol?  On food, it might mean vegetarian or vegan; at a political rally, it may mean victory; if it's a graphic novel or upcoming movie, it means vendetta (V for Vendetta); if it's an '80s TV series, it means the aliens are coming.

The Omskar..or OM. It is sounded by putting the three sanskrit letters A-U-M together. The sound is said to be the sound of creation, the first sound. It represents God.\n\nThe swastika is a Hindu symbol. It represents good luck and good fortune. The Nazis reversed the symbol and turned it on its side. It is believed when it is used this way, it means death. (they probably should of asked a Hindu more about the symbol before using it, eh?)\n\nThe lotus flower. The lotus flower is chosen because the seed is planted in the mud, but the blossom rises through the murky water and appears at the surface. It represents the good in us blossoming up and reaching towards God.\n\nThose are just a few of the symbols. There are a lot more. You can always do a Google or Yahoo search on "Hindu symbols" and there are many websites that have pictures of the symbols and give some really great explainations as well.
