Political allegory is a narrative technique where characters, events, and symbols represent real-world political situations or ideologies. This form of storytelling allows authors to critique or comment on political systems, social issues, or historical events in a more indirect and engaging way. One famous example of political allegory is George Orwell's "Animal Farm", where farm animals symbolize different classes and figures from the Russian Revolution. Through this allegorical tale, Orwell explores themes of power, corruption, and the struggle for equality, making complex political ideas accessible to a broader audience.
