What are the symbolisms in the three musketeers?

Answer:
Swords are typically used as phallic symbols in literature, and that remains true with this novel. Recall the beginning of the novel where, at the Jolly Miller inn, D'Artagnan attempts to draw his sword and it's, well, truncated. To cross swords with another man is deemed an honor in D'Artagnan's world.
