Animal farm is an allegory because a lot of things in the book represent things that really happened. For example, the raven Moses represented religion, which in real life Russia was trying to get rid of.

Orwell created each animal to represent either a person or a class of people, and many of the events (e.g., the windmill stuff) parallel actual events in history.

What are examples of allegory in Animal Farm?

i dont know h333 ------- the whole story's an allegory of the Russian Revolution. Be careful, because it's not a 'satire' nor a 'parody'. An allegory is a story that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, whereas a 'satire' uses humour to make fun of someone or something and a 'parody' imitates an author or genre's style of writing and exaggerates for a comical effect. So remember, Animal Farm= allegory.
