Beethoven's 5th symphony is not "supposed" to symbolise anything. It is a piece of absolute music which exists in its own right, not as a symbol of anything else. Individual listeners may choose to find symbolic "meaning" in it; for example, you may decide that the music symbolises a person's struggle against fate. Someone else may decide something completely different. There is no right or wrong about that sort of reaction: it is personal to the listener, and has nothing to do with Beethoven.
