Hamlet, Part 5: Characteristics of Elizabethan Drama

Question 2 • CA-English Language Arts 12 A

Which sentence most likely comes from an allegory?

Answer
A
Simon couldn’t help but be jealous that Nico would get to play the hero in the school play.
B
Everyone deals with envy; the important thing is to resist giving in to negative emotions.
C
Katya glanced at Rachel and thought about how difficult it was not to envy her best friend.
D
Jealousy quarreled with Forgiveness, but eventually Forgiveness won the argument.

Explanation

An allegory uses characters or events to represent abstract ideas and communicate a broader meaning. In this sentence, Jealousy and Forgiveness are treated as characters who argue, representing a struggle between emotions. The other sentences describe ordinary people feeling envy or give general advice, rather than personifying ideas as characters.
