I have found this question online. It refers to the short story "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall". This is the passage we are supposed to analyze:
No, I swear he never harmed me but in that. He never harmed me but in that... and what if he did? There was the day, the day, but a whirl of dark smoke rose and covered it, crept up and over into the bright field where everything was planted so carefully in orderly rows.
Answer:
The purpose of symbolism used in this passage is:
C. To illustrate the destruction of Granny's dream.
Explanation:
In "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall," the main character is 80 years old. She is also dying, and this what the story focuses on. As she approaches death, Granny becomes delusional, her mind a messy mixture of memories and imaginary conversations.
In the passage we are analyzing here, Granny is going through one of these moments of confusion. She is remembering the day she was jilted - the day she was left by the man she loved. It was supposed to have been their wedding day, but he never showed. The narrator uses symbolism to show how her dream of marrying that man is destroyed: the black smoke that comes and covers a bright field. The life that was laid ahead of Granny, as she thought of her wedding, was happy and bright, like the field. But once the man she loved never showed, it was as if that happiness was suddenly taken from her. Her future was not clear anymore - it was dark, like the smoke.
