What Is Allegory?

An allegory is a literary device used to convey abstract ideas or moral principles through symbolic characters, events, or settings. It involves a story or narrative that has a deeper, hidden meaning beyond the literal interpretation. Allegories are often employed to explore complex concepts, social issues, or philosophical themes.


Examples of Allegory
"Animal Farm" by George Orwell:
This novella uses animals on a farm to represent the events and figures of the Russian Revolution and the early Soviet Union. The pigs, led by Napoleon, symbolize the Communist Party leaders, while the other animals represent different social classes and political ideologies. Through the allegory, Orwell critiques the corruption of power and the dangers of totalitarianism.


"The Lord of the Flies" by William Golding:
In this novel, a group of boys stranded on an uninhabited island represents the flaws and darker aspects of human nature. The characters symbolize different aspects of society, such as leadership, savagery, reason, and innocence.
