Symbolism_In_The_Dog_And_The_Scent_Bottle

Symbolism In The Dog And The Scent Bottle Symbolism in “The Dog and the Scent Bottle” Many poets often use one character to symbolize another person. These representations that may seem inconceivable at first are interpreted as symbolism, using one object to represent another. Symbolism is a way of representing someone or something without actually having to say it directly. It can be interpreted as either helpful or harmful depending on how the poet (or whoever is writing it) feels about their topic. If they approve of their subject, they will use something good to represent the subject. If they dislike the subject, they might be more inclined to use a bad symbol. In Charles Bandelaire’s “The Dog and the Scent Bottle”, Bandelaire’s symbol of the public is not a very fond one, but it conveys a true to life message. “The Dog and the Scent Bottle” is a symbol of the public in that they are uncultured, can not appreciate fine things, and are very stubborn and set in their ways about things. One way Bandelaire views the public is as an uncultured dog. He does this by using a dog to symbolize the public in general. symbolism, dog, public, perfume, bandelaire, things, life, scent, one, very, using, uncultured, symbolize, symbol, subject, smells, general, first, bottle, better, another, about, way, vast, understand, something, poet, people, never, maybe, just, idea, finer, been, bad
