Allegory  An allegory is a powerful literary, visual, or symbolic device that operates on multiple levels of meaning, inviting readers or viewers to interpret the text or image through the lens of metaphor, symbolism, or narrative symbolism. Unlike literal narratives, which convey explicit meanings through direct representation, allegorical works rely on figurative language, symbolic imagery, and narrative subtext to convey deeper layers of significance, often reflecting moral, philosophical, or political themes. From John Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress" to George Orwell's "Animal Farm," allegory has been a potent tool for conveying complex ideas and moral allegiances through the guise of fictional narratives and symbolic characters.

In visual art, allegorical motifs such as the "vanitas" still life or the "allegory of painting" by artists like Jan Vermeer and Artemisia Gentileschi have served as vehicles for conveying profound philosophical or religious truths through the language of symbolism and allegory. By engaging the imagination and prompting critical reflection, allegory invites audiences to decipher hidden meanings, discern underlying truths, and contemplate the deeper mysteries of human existence.
