An allegorical narrative is a literary form that uses symbolic elements to convey hidden meanings, often moral or political, found in stories, folk tales, poems, and essays across different cultures.
An allegorical narrative is a story, folk tale, poem, or essay that conveys a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one, through symbolic figures, actions, imagery, and events. These narratives often use characters and situations to represent broader concepts or ideas. For example, in George Orwell's 'Animal Farm', the story of a group of farm animals who rebel against their human farmer serves as an allegory for the Russian Revolution. Similarly, Aesop's Fables, such as 'The Tortoise and the Hare', use simple stories to impart moral lessons. Allegorical narratives can be found across various cultures and literary traditions, providing readers with layered interpretations and deeper understanding of complex themes.
