denotative and connotative

The denotation of this example is a red rose with a green stem. The connotation is that it is a symbol of passion and love - this is what the rose represents.

The denotation is a mosque. The connotation is a symbol of religion, according to the media connotation. However, to be more specific this is a symbol of Islam.


The denotation is a representation of a cartoon heart. The connotation is a symbol of love and affection, not in the way of a rose, but a symbol of true love.
