When an object is invested with a meaning beyond its immediate reference, it becauses

Answer Details
When an object is invested with a meaning beyond its immediate reference, it becomes a symbol. A symbol is a literary device where an object or action represents something beyond its literal meaning. This allows authors to add deeper meanings and layers to their writing. For example, a rose might symbolize love or passion, while a skull might symbolize death or mortality. Symbols can be used to convey complex ideas or emotions in a more subtle and nuanced way, and can add depth and richness to a literary work.
