Charlotte was well-educated on the teaching of the literature more commonly, on the metaphor, for this reason it stimulated her passion for the love of metaphors. In fact, Charlotte thinks,”that Miss Hancock made the deepest mark upon me,”(Wilson,217), because of how exhilarating her momentum is when she educates her lovely pupils . Without delay, her preceptor made the entire class do an activity on writing a metaphor based on anything, as time passes she calls up Charlotte to decipher her extensive metaphor about her mother. Charlotte states,”My mother is a flawless, modern building, created of glass and the smoothest of pale concrete,”(219) meaning that her mom may seem flawless at first, but when examined more closely she is revealed to be unsympathetic and heartless. In that day, Miss Hancock paused Charlotte at the end of her class, before she proceeds to go home to inform her,’”if you need any help...with any other kind of problem, just let me know,’”(220) shows her sympathetic side of being caring, kind-hearted and compassionate.
Along with the novel being read as a political allegory it can also be a religious allegory because the novel mentions and talks about the Baptist missionaries. The Baptist missionaries have to deal with rejection from the Congolese people. The Congolese people rejected not only the religion, but also the Price family because they were white. Not only did the Price family face a struggle with the Congolese people, they also endured the same struggle everyone else did. They were constantly faced with disease and bugs such as

The Phantom Tollbooth has many allegories within it. It means that there is two meanings behind something, whether it may be a person, animal or object. One example of an allegory in The Phantom Tollbooth would be Tock. He is a watchdog that makes sure nobody wastes time. He has a big clock on the side of him and goes tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick.
An Allegory is a key term that connects to Miller’s purpose and describes a story that can be interpreted in many ways to find a cavernous meaning. Today there
Allegories are stories that reveal a hidden meaning. ¨Things stand for other things on a one-for-one basis (Foster 98).¨ The next technique that was used as plot device. Weather never means weather.
An allegory is a story that can be interpreted in both a literal and symbolic sense. A great example is “The crucible” which was written by Authur Miller to symbolize what had happened to him during the 1950’s red scare through the 1692 Salem Witch Trials; Where more than 200 people were accused of practicing witchcraft and 20 of them were executed. Arthur Miller was convicted of contempt of Congress for failing to name names of communist sympathizers during the McCarthyism era. Many of the people targeted during the 1950s Red scare were writers, actors, and homosexuals. In ‘the crucible’ he symbolizes this by having the poor citizens be targeted.
The story hints to resemblance and principles from the Western (European) colonization and illustrates the power in which these people have. I believe the use of allegory emphasizes particular and temporary blindness and political/politics based amnesia. Marsden uses a particular and unique metaphor of colonization to demonstrate an ironic moral issue and also
The theme in the novel “All Fall Down”is not to judge people without knowing the full truth about them. One way the reader is led to the theme is by observing the conflict and resolution of the story. Another way the reader is led to the theme is by the authors use of figurative and descriptive language that makes the reader feel different feelings towards the scarred man. Finally, the character development helps lead us to the theme throughout the way Alli Carter makes people feel towards the main characters Grace and Dominic the Scarre Man. Ally carter’s novel “All Fall Down” displays the conflict of human vs self.
Allegory is a story that can mean something in a symbolic way or have meaning in a literal way. The author of the crucible came from a victim standpoint because he was involved in the accusations on people in the Red Scare. “The Crucible” is an allegory to the McCarthyism Red Scare around the 1950’s. An allegory is a story that can relate to something in a symbolic way or have meaning in a literal way. The author Arther Miller uses the Salem Witch Trials as a symbolic story to his situation back around the Red Scare.
However, before dissecting and analyzing the allegory used in Charlotte Temple, it is important to understand how allegory can be presented within a piece of literature. Gibbs, jr describes the view of allegory as, “A major focus of literary allegory is with human journeys in which people strive, and often struggle, to reach certain physical locations that are symbolically representative of abstract, sometimes religious or spiritual ideas” (Gibbs, Jr 15). Allegory is a literary device in which characters, settings, objects, and plots are used to reveal deeper meanings; writers are encouraged to convey themes and ideas in a more engaging and accessible way. Frank, Jr. describes allegory within characters as, “...characters and significant details are concrete and have a second meaning, that is, are symbols; and he will be told this is an allegory” (Frank, Jr.
An allegory is a symbolic literary device used when the meaning of a greater, more abstract concept being conveyed within terms, characters, and events. An allegory is distinct from symbolism because an allegory is a story or tale, while a symbol is typically a singular object or thing. What makes Miller’s work an allegory, is that in order to make key commentary against the power of accusations and how they impact our lives, Miller wrote an allegory on the abhorred political practice that we know today as McCarthyism. Simply put, McCarthyism was a series of investigations and hearings prompted after Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy devised a strategy to eliminate communist infiltration within the the United States during the Cold War. The immediate connections to The Crucible become apparent when one analyzes the fact that in many if not all of these McCarthyism trials disregarded evidence or in many cases the truth all together.
Throughout the story, the narrator continues to mention this image of him standing “[with] open arms” on a “cobbled street” in “a smoldering city” where he sees himself saving “a bundle of precious things [thrown] from a third-floor European window” that is Charlotte (189). The image of the “smoldering city” suggests an unfolding of some sort of disaster on a grand scale, perhaps a volcanic eruption or a war. The emphasis on the medieval aspects of the city, the “European window” and “cobbled streets” adds a fantastical sense to this image, suggesting that narrator is both exaggerating and romanticizing this relationship. Describing Charlotte as “a bundle of precious things” he happens to save, the narrator implies that he sees Charlotte as something special that only he can save because he is the person in the right place and time with “arms open” – accepting and willing to tolerate her faults. In introspection, the narrator claims that this vision is perhaps the result of having “watched too many films” (189), and suggests that he may have imagined himself of a hero of sorts who can save Charlotte from her eccentricities and anti-social behaviors.
