The novel Brother Man is symbolic because it draws refernce to the biblical days when Jesus was percecuted by the people he saved and healed and was condemed to crucifiction, so was Brother Man condemned and stoned by the same villagers whom he saved and healed as well. Also Brother man taught people lessons like Jesus did also when he bought the crab from the boy that he gave him to teach him a lesson that animals as well as humans do not like to be tied up and kept as prisoners for doing nothing/ just being alive.
Also the significance to superstition an example of this is when cordelia cut her hand and wiped it with a tissue and carried it outside and buried it in the yard and covered it with a stone, also another reference is when Brother Man passed by cordelia and as soon as he left she throw a bucket of water on the door post where he walked to wash away his presence from her home.
