What is an Allegory?

What is an allegory?

Can you think of an example of an allegory you have encountered in your own reading or a famous example?

An allegory is…

  • The Tortoise and the Hair- Hidden meaning is that set reasonable goals
  • A red wagon poem from a test??-  The wagon was not taken care of it and it broke. The hidden meaning is that no one took care of a person and eventually they ‘broke’
  • Lion Witch and the Wardrobe- Religious the lion as God

Definition:

A story, poem, or picture that has a hidden meaning a moral; not literal
