An allegory is a narrative in which characters and events represent broader ideas or concepts. It often conveys moral, social, political, or spiritual meanings and allows readers to uncover hidden significance as they interpret the story. Well-known examples of allegories include George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' and John Bunyan's 'The Pilgrim's Progress'. These stories are crafted with layers of meaning that extend beyond their literal plots, engaging readers in deeper reflection on the subjects they portray.
