an aesop’s fable

a grimm’s fairy tale
skip 25/26 complete
An allegory is a narrative that uses symbols and events to convey a hidden meaning, often moral or political. An extended metaphor is a metaphor that is developed over multiple lines, paragraphs, or throughout a work, which aligns with how an allegory functions (using a story to extend a symbolic meaning). Aesop’s fables and Grimm’s fairy tales are specific types of stories, not definitions of allegory. A story with one meaning is not an allegory, as allegories have a deeper, often symbolic meaning beyond the literal.
