ALLEGORY
The correct answer is to offer insight to the social structure of a society.
An allegory is a story, poem, or picture that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one. Authors often use allegories to symbolically represent abstract ideas or concepts in a way that is easier for readers to understand and relate to. One common reason for employing allegories is to offer insight into the social structure of a society by using the allegory to represent different groups or classes within that society and their relationships with each other.
For example, George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is an allegory that uses animal characters to represent different social and political groups in the Soviet Union. The story offers insight into the power dynamics and corruption that existed within that society by showing how the different animal groups interact with each other and how some groups gain power and privilege at the expense of others.
Other possible reasons for using allegories include:
- C. to praise some personality traits and scorn others: an allegory could be used to depict characters with certain traits as heroic and admirable, while others are depicted as villainous or undesirable.
- D. to demonstrate the complexity of the justice system: an allegory could be used to explore the complexities of the justice system and the ways in which it may be influenced by power, politics, or other factors.
