A motif is an element in a story that has both a literal and symbolic meaning. It is a recurring theme, image, or symbol that contributes to the overall message or theme of the story. Motifs can add depth and complexity to a story by conveying multiple layers of meaning to the reader.
An allegory is a narrative in which every literal element has a symbolic meaning, often used to convey moral, spiritual, or political messages. In an allegory, characters, events, and settings represent abstract ideas or concepts, allowing for deeper interpretations beyond the surface story. This literary device enables writers to explore complex themes in a more accessible and engaging manner. Examples include George Orwell's "Animal Farm," which critiques totalitarianism through the depiction of a farm and its animal inhabitants.
