Symbolism and Allegory Objective: Students will be able to recognize - differentiate between - explain symbolism and allegory as they apply to figurative language usage

Symbolism vs. Allegory A symbol can be a word, place, character or object that means something beyond what it is on a literal level. An allegory involves using many interconnected symbols or allegorical figures in such a way that nearly every element of the narrative has a meaning beyond the literal level, i.e., everything in the narrative is a symbol that relates to other symbols within the story.

Concept Development: Where do Symbols come from? Symbols can be inherited or invented. Ex. The Statue of Liberty came to symbolize freedom for people immigrating to the United States by way of Ellis Island.

Allegory An Allegory is a story in which characters, settings and actions stand for something beyond themselves. In some types of Allegories, the characters and setting represent abstract ideas of moral qualities. In other types, characters and situations stand for historical figures and events.

Examples of Allegories An Allegory can be read on one level for its literal or straightforward meaning An allegory can be read for its symbolic, or allegorical meaning Allegories are often intended to teach a moral lesson or make a comment about goodness and depravity.
