Allegory

The term "allegory" is derived

from the Latin "allegoria,"
which means "speaking to imply
something else."
An allegory is
 -A story, poem or work of art that has a hidden meaning
or message, usually a moral. Rather than stating the
message, allegories use characters and events to convey
meaning.
Example of Allegory:
Story of Adam and Eve
• The apple that adam receives from eve symbolize
knowledge of Good And Evil
• The snake represent temptation And Sin
The Tortoise and the Hare
Story by Aesop

• Aesop's famous fable tells the story of a tortoise who,

ridiculed by the hare for being slow, challenges it to a
race. The hare soon leaves the tortoise behind and,
confident of winning, takes a nap midway. Upon
awakening, he finds that his competitor, crawling slowly
but steadily, has arrived before him.
• The story of the tortoise and the hare is an
allegory, expressing the belief that the slow and
steady will always defeat the quick and prideful in the
end.
