Can a character’s name be symbolic? Yes! They’re your characters! You get to name them. Consider being more purposeful when naming your characters.
In many cultures today and in historical times, a name is important and decided on with much thought. A name meant something, foretold a personality trait, and/or promised a destiny. Symbolic names in literature are used all the time!
In this episode, I discuss how symbolic or ironic character names can add depth, complexity, irony, and characterization to your novel! Write better, author smarter. Write a great novel.
