The setting
An allegory is a literary device and an extended metaphor with analogous meaning in perception or abstractions in social,historical or political ideas/events to conceal or reveal a criticism.Metaphor is comparison by identification or substitution two unlike objects/ideas used one for the other.
Allegory, analogy, and metaphor are all literary devices used to convey ideas and meanings beyond their literal interpretations. An allegory presents a complete narrative with characters and events symbolizing deeper moral or political meanings, while an analogy draws a comparison between two different things to highlight similarities. Metaphor, on the other hand, directly equates one thing to another to create vivid imagery or understanding. Despite their distinct forms, all three techniques enrich language and facilitate deeper comprehension of complex concepts.
