Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

A mannequin is a large model of a person used to show clothes in the window of a shop.

The term that refers to something that represents ideas that lie beyond the literal reading of the text is allegory. Often characters, their actions, and described events represent something else as the text contains a hidden meaning, often a moral or political one. For example, the Bible can be considered an allegory.
