I think we are operating under different definitions of \"literal\" and \"symbolic\".

Symbolism doesn\'t have to be cryptic; obvious and straightforward symbolism is still symbolism.

The fact that, for the benefit of the audience, the camera is placed so as to frame that diorama in the backdrop of Nick and Judy\'s approach of Bellwether, \'\'symbolizes\'\' what Bellwether is trying to do: have prey gang up against predators.

That\'s how I see it anyway.

Even though I\'m quite certain \"literal\" is not the right term, it\'s possible my own definition of symbolism could be wrong. If symbolism \'\'per se\'\' is required to be something much more abstract, and cannot include something this complex, then perhaps it would more accurately be described as \"metaphorical\" rather than \"symbolic\". In that case, the example can stay dead.

As for how I would reword it if keeping it, I would rewrite it to focus on the specific camera shot we are discussing, as the rest of the example (apparently talking about the entire natural history museum segment) seems rather dubious.
