Allegory Definition and Examples

Lesson Plans by Rebecca Ray

When studying allegorical texts, it is important that students understand the concept as a foundation for the reading. Since an allegory's purpose is to convey a deeper, symbolic meaning, students must be able to define the term and spot the references in the work of literature.

Storyboard Text

  • DARK WOOD OF ERROR
  • The mistakes that lead Dante and every person into a bad choice, or a bad situation in life.
  • Dante's INFERNO
  • EXAMPLE
  • REFERENCE
  • MOUNT OF JOY
  • Represents Heaven and the pinnacle for the spirit’s journey; this is where God is, and the Mountain is the spiritual journey to reach Him.
  • THREE BEASTS OF WORLDLINESS
  • These three beasts represent worldly sins that have blocked Dante on his path of a righteous life: malice, fraud, violence, ambition, and lack of carnal self-restraint (incontinence).
  • HELL
  • Hell is an allegory for Sin and its consequences. For Dante, it is the understanding that sin begets suffering, and if he continues on his path of Worldliness, his eternal separation from God will be inevitable.
