Symbolical writing is a genre of literature that uses symbols to convey deeper meaning beyond the literal interpretation of the text. There are several synonyms for symbolical writing, such as allegorical writing, figurative writing, metaphoric writing, emblematic writing, and iconographic writing. Allegorical writing highlights the moral or political meaning behind the text using symbols, whereas figurative writing uses the metaphorical language to describe an object, person, or situation. Metaphoric writing uses figures of speech and comparisons to convey the meaning, whereas emblematic writing incorporates symbols, emblems, and icons to represent a specific concept or philosophy. Iconographic writing uses visual symbols and images to convey meaning.
