What is an example of the word allegory in the book Animal Farm?no

There are many literary terms that are so closely related
but are not the same. The word allegory is a lot like the word symbol because it's
function is to represent. However, the difference between the two is that an allegory is
a group of symbols that work together.


Napoleon symbolizing
Stalin, Snowball symbolizing Trotsky, Boxer, the working class; Mollie, the vain; Mr.
Jones, the Romanovs or Nicolas II; Manor Farm, Russia; and the Rebellion, the Russian
Revolution. This group of symbols makes up the entire
allegory.


This is similar to metaphor and extended metaphor
if you know that concept.
