Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It's actually hard to sat, since that allegories is materialise abstract forms, making visible what it's not.

Allegories were used to represent values, feelings, ideas with a physical form.

So, readers know the true meaning when they analyse the background meaning on the history, not the literal one. Because, literal meanings are not the true meaning of allegories.

In advance to understand, they must effort to see the meaning behind the visible, touchable meaning.

They need to read more of the authors writings to find the key to the story's truths.
