Detailed Solution

Allegory is an abstract idea.
An allegory is a symbol that represents an invisible concept. An allegory is said to be used when a vague idea, such as greed, envy, freedom, or liberty, is expressed through a person or thing. A symbolic story usually has two meanings, one literal and the other figurative. Similarly, Germany became a symbol of the German nation. In visual images, Germania wears a crown of oak leaves, as German oak represents heroism. An allegory is a simple story that represents a larger point in society or human nature, through different characters who may represent real-life people. Sometimes, situations in a story may echo those in history or modern life without explicitly stating this connection.
