* Allegory is a literary technique where a story, poem, or other work of art has a second, symbolic meaning beneath the surface. This hidden meaning is often used to teach a moral lesson or to express abstract ideas.
Some examples of famous allegories include:
* Animal Farm by George Orwell - An allegory for the Russian Revolution.
* The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien - An allegory for the struggle between good and evil.
* Plato's Cave - An allegory for the human condition and the search for knowledge.
