Re: Re:Friends (btw ninny hammers and noodles is Sam's
The Chronicles of Narnia are allegorical, yes, but they aren't pure allegory. Purely allegorical books are ones where everything, or very nearly everything, intentionally links back to one concept. It's like a drawn-out metaphor, I guess. An example of 'pure' allegory would be Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress. Whereas the Chronicles of Narnia are only allegorical in parts - not every details links back to the Bible, deliberately or no.
