    This dissertation is concerned with studying the way of using symbolism in Georg Orwell’s Animal Farm (1945) and Stephen King’s The Green Mile (1996).To support our research paper, we have employed and identified two main theories : De Saussure’ s theory of the Signifier and the signified and Northrop Frye ‘s Theory of symbolism. In the above mentioned novels, the two authors relied on the historical events that happened at the beginning of the twentieth century in both Europe and America (The Great Depression 1929). This research paper has been divided into three chapters: in which the two novels were analyzed according to different theories. From the analysis done in the three chapters, we have come to a result that the two novels are a great sample of the device of symbolism. We have deduced that the two novels share similar features and that both authors sought to give moral and social reforms even though each author belonged to different environments.
