What is an example of symbolism in the book, The Women of Troy: A Novel?

One example of symbolism is Priam's ring, which symbolizes power. At the start of the novel, Pyrrhus drunkenly gives the late king's ring to Andromache. Later, Amina steals the ring and keeps it for herself. Finally, Pyrrhus offers the ring to Briseis. When she refuses to take it, Pyrrhus dons it and keeps it for himself. Because the ring once belonged to the Trojan king, it is a representation of status and control. Whoever possesses the ring, therefore, feels in possession of this same level of power.
