What is an "allegory"?

An allegory is a story or narrative in which characters, events, and settings represent abstract ideas or concepts, creating a deeper, symbolic meaning. In an allegory, the surface story has a literal meaning, but it also conveys a more profound message about moral, political, or philosophical themes. For example, George Orwell's Animal Farm is an allegory that uses a farm and its animals to represent the events and figures of the Russian Revolution, exploring themes of power and corruption. Allegories use symbolism to offer insights into complex ideas and encourage readers to think beyond the obvious narrative.
