When an author uses something that stands for or represents something else, this becomes a symbol. This concept is known as symbolism. It is a technique used when things should not be taken literally. A symbol can be an object, event, action, person or situation that usually has a deeper meaning. The purpose for the use of symbolism is to enhance the writing and give insight into the story to the reader. The use of symbolism can also add a deeper layer to the story.

The latter phrase, which is of doubtful interpretation, should be taken in its context and in connection with his other remarks that bear on the same question. To his old friend, Guildenstem, he intimates that "his uncle-father and aunt-mother are deceived," and that he is only "mad north-north-west." (II. ii. 360.) But the intimation seems to mean nothing to the dull ears of his old school-fellow. His only comment is given later when he advises that Hamlet's is "a crafty madness." (III. i. 8.)

When completing with Horatio the arrangements for the play, and just before the entrance of the court party, Hamlet says, "I must be idle." (III. ii. 85.)
