A contextual symbol is a symbol that is specific to a single artistic work and doesn't overlap with other similar works. It is a symbol that is created within the context of a particular work and is not universally understood or recognized outside of that work. This is in contrast to a universal symbol, which is known throughout a particular culture or recurs in a variety of genres and works by various writers. A contextual symbol is not about conveying only the surface meaning of an object, person, action, or situation, nor is it about being known throughout a particular culture. It is about being specific to a particular work and contributing to the overall meaning and interpretation of that work.
