(2) The allegory of ideas, in which the literal characters represent concepts and the plot allegorizes an abstract doctrine or thesis. (\u2026) John Bunyan\u2019s The Pilgrim\u2019s Progress (1678).

The principal technique of allegory is \u2018personification\u2019 whereby abstract qualities are given human shape -as in public statues of Liberty or Justice. An allegory may be conceived as a \u2018metaphor that is extended into a structured system. In written narrative, allegory involves a continuous parallel between two [or more] levels of meaning in a story, so that its persons and events correspond to their equivalents in a system of ideas or a chain of events external to the tale: each character and episode in John Bunyan\u2019s Pilgrim\u2019s Progress (1678), for example, embodies an idea within a pre-existing Puritan doctrine of salvation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABRAMS, M.
