Jackson uses 3 symbolism in the story:
1. June 27, which is the summer solstice when the sun is farthest away from the sun. This is the time prehistoric ritual takes place which is similar to story and relating it to such ancient rituals.
2. The "Black Box", although its old and shabby, the villagers are unwilling to replace it which means they are unwilling to stop the practice.
3. Mrs. Delacroix in french means "of the cross" suggest sacrifice because of Jesus Christ's death on the cross. Tessie Hutchinson "taps on Mrs. Delacroix arm as a farewell" before she goes to her husband
