Allegory
An allegory is a story in which characters, settings, and events stand for abstract ideas or real historical situations, so the whole work carries a second, deeper meaning alongside the literal one. George Orwell's Animal Farm tells of farm animals who overthrow their owner, but it is an allegory of the Russian Revolution and the rise of the Soviet dictatorship, with characters representing figures like Stalin. John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress follows a man named Christian on a journey that represents the spiritual life, and Arthur Miller described The Crucible, set during the Salem witch trials, as a response to the anti-communist hearings of the 1950s. An allegory differs from a symbol, which is a single element with a deeper meaning: in an allegory the double meaning runs through the entire work. Many allegories are also satires, using the hidden meaning to criticize people or institutions.
