What is Allegory? An allegory is a story with 2 levels of meaning. The first level is the surface meaning: plot, characters, setting, etc. The second level is the symbolic meaning, deeper meaning of the surface-level elements. An allegory is similar to a giant metaphor, which can be political, historical, philosophical, etc.

Key Words: audience rhetoric metaphor symbol theme imagery Stop and do activities around symbolism and theme

Examples: We’re going to look at 2 major examples of allegory related to World War II: JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and Dr. Seuss’ Yertle the Turtle. But first, some background on WWII...

Harry Potter as an allegory of WWII

Lord Voldemort/Adolf Hitler Orphaned History of disappointment (Hogwarts/Art School) “Half Blood” (Part Muggle/Part Jewish) Obsession with blood purity (Anti-Muggle/Anti-Semitic)

Deatheaters/Nazi Soldiers dark mark : swastika inner circle of followers feared by all

Albus Dumbledore/Winston Churchill Authority figures had alarmist views and were shunned by the public for them (warning of Voldemort’s return/warning of Hitler’s power)

Rita Skeeter & the Daily Prophet/War Propaganda

Dr. Seuss

Dr. Seuss’ Yertle the Turtle

Can you see Dr. Seuss’ story as an allegory of WW2? What symbols or metaphors do you see? Could Yertle the Turtle be an allegory of something else? Write questions in notebooks before we watch the video.
