For Whom the Bell Tolls Describe symbolism in For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 11:58 Last updated by Jill W on 30 Sep 15:58
One symbol in the novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls, is the green liqueur, absinthe. Absinthe symbolizes pleasure, particularly, Robert's belief that pleasure should be embraced while one has the opportunity to embrace it.
