The correct answer is D. An allegory is any literary work (such as a novel, short story, or poem) that has a deeper, symbolic meaning. For example, Animal Farm is an allegorical novel that is, on a literal level, about animals on a farm. On a deeper level, however, the animals actually represent different political ideologies. Therefore, the entire novel is an allegory. An allegory is different than a symbol. A story or poem might feature a symbol, which is when one object has a deeper meaning. An allegory is when an entire book has a deeper meaning.
