Explanation:

Symbolism refers to a literary device in which an author gives certain ideas or qualities a meaning that is different from its literal sense. This allows such objects and ideas to become much deeper and significant. In this example, the author tells us that the flowers were still in the vase as a symbol of a man that the character wants to remember.
