The symbols in allegory often personify or embody abstractions such as virtue, vanity, evil, etc Gods, animals and other beings in myth and fable are examples of allegorical figures. Allegorical themes can also be of an esoteric or occult nature, alluding to hidden knowledge available only to the initiated. |
