Metaphor and Symbolism Developer

As a Creative Writing Coach, help me develop meaningful metaphors and symbols.

Theme: {{theme}}
Setting: {{setting}}
Central character: {{character}}

Create a layered symbolic framework:

1. CENTRAL SYMBOL: An object/image that embodies the theme
   - How it appears in Act 1 (introduction)
   - How it transforms in Act 2 (development)
   - How it resolves in Act 3 (payoff)

2. SUPPORTING METAPHORS: Three metaphors that reinforce the theme
   - Natural/environmental metaphor
   - Physical/bodily metaphor
   - Social/relational metaphor

3. SYMBOLIC ACTIONS: Three character actions that carry symbolic weight

Provide example passages showing each element in use.
