Not to make you feel stupid or anything, but here's a definition of an Allegory:
Quote:
1.The representation of abstract ideas or principles by characters, figures, or events in narrative, dramatic, or pictorial form.
2. A story, picture, or play employing such representation. John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress and Herman Melville's Moby **** are allegories.
3. A symbolic representation: The blindfolded figure with scales is an allegory of justice.
By the way, that was me you quoted, and I agree completely. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
