In "After Twenty Years" by O. Henry, several symbols are present, including the street lamp, which represents the passage of time and the clarity of truth that illuminates the characters' lives. The two men, Jimmy and Bob, symbolize contrasting paths—one of Law and Order and the other of crime and betrayal. The setting of the meeting place signifies nostalgia and the fleeting nature of relationships, highlighting how time can change people and circumstances.
