It is unquestionably true that many literary writers employ symbols, signs, images and imagery to express profound connotations that are beyond the surface implications of their work. Symbolism has become a vital concept that is used not just in our everyday life but also in literature to represent or express qualities and ideas. This study aims at proving that Non-Verbal Communication (NVC), apart from it being culturally situated, can be of universal semantic implications. For example, waving of hands, nodding of the head to show acceptance or agreement, winking of the eyes to show love and invitation among many extra verbal means of communication. Symbolism is often used by writers to enhance their writing and give insight to the reader.
