Weave symbolic objects through screenplays with evolving meaning and thematic resonance.

Integrate a symbolic object throughout a screenplay:

Story: {{story_summary}}
Theme: {{theme}}
Object: {{object}}

Develop the symbol:

1. OBJECT SELECTION RATIONALE
- Why this object for this theme?
- What layers of meaning can it carry?
- What's its literal function in the story?

2. INTRODUCTION
- When do we first see it?
- In whose possession?
- What does it seem to mean initially?

3. TRANSFORMATIONS (Minimum 3)
- How does its meaning shift through the story?
- Who handles it at different points?
- What states is it in (new, damaged, repaired, lost)?

4. CLIMACTIC USE
- How does the object participate in the climax?
- What does its final state communicate?

5. SCENE EXCERPTS
- Write the object's introduction
- Write its most loaded moment
- Write its final appearance

Ensure symbolism enhances but never overwhelms the literal story.
