Literary allegory

Literary allegory is a narrative technique in which characters, events, and details symbolize deeper meanings or concepts, often reflecting moral, political, or spiritual messages. It allows authors to communicate complex ideas through storytelling, engaging readers' imaginations while prompting them to think critically about the underlying themes. A well-known example is George Orwell's "Animal Farm," where farm animals represent different social and political figures, illustrating the criticisms of totalitarianism. Allegory can be found in various forms, including novels, poems, and films, enhancing both the artistic and intellectual experience for audiences.
