allegory
an allegory is used to tell a story that has characters, a setting, as well as other types of symbols, that have both literal and figurative meanings. the difference between an allegory and a symbol is that an allegory is a complete narrative that conveys abstract ideas to get a point across, while a symbol is a representation of an idea or concept that can have a different meaning throughout a literary work.
“a parable is like an allegory because the message has a hidden meaning”
more precise example
“the monkey on a globe of the world”
the monkey may represent how humans copy each other and not standing up for themselves. the globe may represent how we (the monkeies) abuse it and not notice because we are to busy having fun.
