How to use "Allegorical" in context?
Literature often employs allegorical narratives, which use the familiar to explore the abstract. In "The Catcher in the Rye," Holden Caulfield's drunken rambling captures the essence of adolescent angst. In "The Odyssey," Odysseus' perilous voyage home contrasts his homely experience on the Trojan War. Allegory can also illuminate social issues, as in "The Grapes of Wrath" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." In any case, a story's usual elements are combined with a invented scheme, setting, or character to explore an abstract idea.
