Allegories Imagine an iceberg… how it looks one way at the top and so much greater beneath the surface.

Metaphors, fables, and parables Metaphor: When you say something is something else, when it’s not literally “Life is a highway” The cake metaphor from Touching Spirit Bear Fable: A short story, typically with animals as characters, conveying a moral Parable: A simple story used to illustrate a moral/spiritual lesson (esp. the Bible) Metaphors and parables are closely related to allegory, and in many cases they mean the same thing.

Allegory Allegory: A story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one In other words, an allegory is something that appears to be one thing on the surface (or literally) but also clearly represents something political/religious/moral underneath the surface

Examples: Aesop’s Fables and Dr. Seuss Tortoise and the Hare The Ant and the Grasshopper (aka Bug’s Life) Dr. Seuss The Sneetches Yertle the Turtle

Examples: Parables in the New Testament Parable of the Sower Good Samaritan Wise and Foolish Builder Prodigal Son

Examples: The Chronicles of Narnia The Chronicles of Narnia is a giant allegory for Christianity The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (2nd book) describes Aslan’s death and resurrection The Last Battle (6th and last book) explains how Aslan returns and takes his believers to a kingdom in the afterlife

“The Monsters are Due on Maple Street” Soon we’ll be watching “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street” This is an episode of the 1960s television program The Twilight Zone This episode was written during the Cold War, when everyone was afraid their neighbors are Communists On the surface, this episode is talking about paranoia over alien invaders, but under the surface, it’s a safe way for the show to criticize American paranoia without getting into trouble…

Quick recap! What is an allegory? What is an example of allegory that we talked about– and what makes it an allegory? Can you think of any other examples of allegory that we haven’t talked about yet?
