Ian McEwan employs symbols to his story lines to give a lively touch to the incidents that every character encounters in his novels. McEwan highlights the usage of symbols to guide the reader as they follow the attempts of the characters to discern the lucid meaning of life and to expose themselves to temporal experiences. In some novels, Ian was direct with his symbolism and in some he remains subtle leaving it upto the reader to disclose the meaning hidden between the lines. The author employs symbols not only to show another physical element of the story but also to hint at foreshadow, and to draw the line between reality and fantasy his character desire to believe.
