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.
