The answer is true. If there is a reoccurring theme, event, object, or setting (ex: The story repeatedly mentions starry nights) it probably symbolizes something that the author is trying to express.

Efrain Camacho · Answer 2

true.

Explanation:

All good narrative is never gratuitous. If an author returns to an object or event recurrently, it most likely means that the author is trying to elaborate on a symbol or a meaningful content that is related to the work of fiction as a whole, probably as one important key in the interpretation of the whole. A good example is Steinbeck's "the chrysanthemums", where the author likens the flowers to the main character.
