The Pigman What is the symbolism in The Pigman? Asked by bookragstutor 12 years ago 11/28/2012 8:47 AM Last updated by anonymous 12 years ago 12/12/2012 11:59 PM
While each character in The Pigman has it's own symbolism. The overall symbolism of the story is that everyone is in a cage, usually of their own making. People must battle against these imaginary cages to get what they want in life.
