an allegory
A representation of an abstract or spiritual meaning through concrete or material forms; figurative treatment of one subject under the guise of another. A form of writing in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative have a symbolic meaning beyond the literal meaning of the narrative
The larger symbolic meaning outside the narrative could represent universal themes, societal issues, or philosophical concepts applicable to the real world. The objects, persons, and actions in the narrative may serve as metaphors or allegories to convey deeper messages or reflections on human experiences and emotions. The author could be using the story as a vehicle to explore complex ideas or to make a commentary on the human condition.
Allegory. It is a literary device where elements of a story represent abstract ideas or concepts, often to convey moral, political, or philosophical messages beyond the literal interpretation of the narrative.
Allegory is a form of extended metaphor, in which objects, persons, and actions in a narrative, are equated with the meanings that lie outside the narrative itself. The underlaying meaning has moral, social, religious, or political significance, and characters are often personifications of abstract ideas as charity, greed, or envy. Thus an allegory is a story with tow meanings, a literal meanings and a symbolic meanings.
In literature, certain objects and events have symbolic meaning attached to them. Common symbolic objects would include the Raven as a sign of death and the scales for balance and order, for example. Certain events in stories that share elements with other famous events can also share their symbolic meanings. A well-known and obvious example of this would be Aslan symbolizing Christ in the Chronicles of Narnia.
