Pds 1&4- Lord of the Flies–> Literary term- An allegory is a story with more than one level of meaning—a literal level and one or more symbolic levels. An allegory allows a writer to tell a story about literal characters and to make a moral, religious, or political point. In the Lord of the Flies, the author makes direct comments on life and society through the use of allegory. Besides having a literal surface meaning, the events, settings or characters also stand for ideas or qualities and have a second meaning on that level. Golding reserves his allegory for certain aspects of society.
