The nuances of symbolism
Introduction
The word "symbol" has several nuances of meaning to consider. To specify the terminology in use, it is important to distinguish the symbolic image of the others with which it is confused. Due to these confusion, the symbol becomes bland, disregards and falls into rhetoric, either in academic talks or gatherings between friends. To understand the symbology within "Ides of March" we must differentiate between the different ways of presenting a sign. The emblem is a visible figure adopted conventionally to represent an idea. Allegory is a figuration on an almost always human form.

Far from being the faculty to show images, imagination is dynamic power that deforms pragmatic copies formed by perception and that reforming dynamism of sensations becomes the foundation of whole psychic life. We can say that the symbol has more than an artificially given sense, because it holds an essential and spontaneous resonance power ”(Durs) in space poetics, g. Bachelard specifies this point.

C.G Jung, considers the symbol as "a formal possibility of reproducing similar or at least analogous ideas, or an inherent condition of psyche, which has a certain part linked to the brain" (Jung) thus we will see how G. Clooney, through certain signifiers (objects) will show us the condition of the characters psyche. In this case the campaign manager Paul Zara.
