Answer 1

Answer:

1. Animal Farm

Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, is an allegory that uses animals on a farm to describe the overthrow of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, and the Communist Revolution of Russia before WW I. The actions of the animals on the farm are used to expose the greed and corruption of the revolution. It also describes how powerful people can change the ideology of a society.

2.Faerie Queen, a masterpiece of Edmund Spenser, is a moral and religious allegory.

The good characters of book stand for the various virtues, while the bad characters represent vices. “The Red-Cross Knight” represents holiness, and “Lady Una” represents truth, wisdom, and goodness. Her parents symbolize the human race. The “Dragon,” which has imprisoned them, stands for evil.

3. Pilgrim’s Progress (By John Bunyan)

John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress is an example of spiritual allegory. The ordinary sinner, Christian, leaves the City of Destruction, and travels towards Celestial City, where God resides, for salvation. He finds Faithful, a companion who helps him on his way to the City. On many instances, many characters, including Hypocrisy, Apollyon, Mr. Worldly Wiseman, Obstinate, and Pliable try to discourage or stop him from achieving his aim. Finally, he reaches the Celestial City, carried by Hopeful’s faith.

4.Allegory in Philosophy

For thousands of years, philosophers have expressed their beliefs using allegories, particularly because allegorical narratives are handy for illustrating concepts that might otherwise be too abstract to explain easily.

5.Allegory in Film

There is a long tradition of allegorical movies that represent historical figures or moral qualities through a series of symbols.

Allegory in Pan's Labyrinth

Guillermo del Toro's 2006 dark fantasy film is set during the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s, and chronicles the journey of a girl named Ofelia into a fairy underworld she discovers near her home. In the haunting final scene, the young Ofelia refuses to harm an innocent person, even though it will cost her the kingdom she had been promised by a mythical fawn, and ultimately her life. Though none of the characters in the film are actual historical figures, they symbolize the opposing sides of the Spanish Civil War. If Ofelia is an allegorical figure for Spanish resistance to tyranny, her calculating stepfather (who is a captain on the side of the country's military dictator) represents Spanish officials' all-consuming pursuit of power and blind allegiance to the ideals of the dictatorship.
