All of the previous objects are known in English as SYMBOLS
They stand for something else, having a deeper meaning or message than you would first expect.

Deeper meaning?
1. Why does the witch hate the mirror so much?

2. Why do you think that a poisoned apple is chosen as a weapon?

3. Why might it be important that Snow White's coffin is glass?

4. Why are there SEVEN dwarves? Are their names important? Why?
