Authors use repetition to reinforce the symbolic significance of certain themes, motifs, or objects in a literary text. By repeating symbolic images or elements throughout the text, the author emphasizes their importance and deepens their meaning for the reader. This creates a stronger connection between the symbols and the overall message or themes of the text.
