In this paper, the author proves even symmetry and monotonicity of certain solutions of the Allen-Cahn equation \(u_{xx}+u_{yy}-F'(u)=0\) in a half plane. The author also shows that entire solutions with finite Morse index and four ends must be evenly symmetric with respect to two orthogonal axes. A classification scheme of general entire solutions with finite Morse index is also presented using energy quantization.
