The problem with this theory is that a lot of people use "allegory" very
loosely. Some people call any story with symbolism, or reference to anything
outside the story itself 'allegory.'
That isn't what allegory means at all. Now, to really describe what the term
means--strictly defined--I haven't either the time or learning to fully
explicate, but your public library probably has lots of books on the subject.

transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in
heart."--Iris Murdoch
