How can symbolism be used to add depth and richness to a narrative?

Revealing a hidden message
Connecting a tone to a scene
Establishing the main conflict
Enhancing the protagonist's journey

The correct answer is: Revealing a hidden message

Symbolism can be used to add depth and richness to a narrative by revealing hidden messages and themes through indirect means. In contrast, connecting a tone to a scene or establishing the main conflict are important elements in a narrative, but they do not necessarily add depth and richness on their own. Similarly, while the protagonist's journey may be enhanced by the use of symbolism, it is not the primary purpose of utilizing this literary device. Therefore, the best answer is A, as it directly addresses the use of symbolism to add depth and richness to a narrative.
