Allegorical Metamorphosis Metamorphosis is transformation of an insect from an immature form to an adult form. Although this term is ordinarily used in Biology, Franz Kafka uses this term to title his peculiar story. This is a story about a young man named Gregor Samsa, who is a traveling salesman. He is a typical hardworking man trying to pay off debts. However, he wakes up one morning as a human-sized beetle. His parents see him as a beetle, they react negatively, but his sister, Grete, is not

The Four Senses of Scripture in Origen Homily I Origen was one of the most pivotal and important teacher and interpreter of the Catholic faith of all time. His interpretations of Genesis I and many other homilies are still looked to today for guidance, even though he lived in the third century. Origen has had a difficult history with the church, from being excommunicated and pronounced a heretic, though today the church an scholars recognize him as a very important mind in church history.

Through the support of the Medici family, he was able to attend school in Florence and eventually create well known allegorical art pieces that we still enjoy today. Living and attending school in Florence allowed for him to be frequently commissioned by the Medici family to create pieces such as Primavera. Without the patronage of this family, this “mythological” and “allegorical” work of art might not exist today. Lorenzo de’ Medici was the more specific patron of Primavera. He was part of

Paul has now reached his allegorical destination. He began this conclusive sentence with the strong inferential διό. Now doubt Paul could have used a whole host of different inferential words but he specifically chooses this stronger one. Why? First, we need to dig into why he included this verse. Glancing back at 4:30, a case could be made that Paul had already made a clear-cut conclusion. Paul used verse 31 to affirm the conclusion in verse 30 and to wrap up 4:21-30. The διό could also indicate

Is Lord of the Rings allegorical? Perhaps the most common comment about J.R.R. Tolkien's, Lord of the Rings, is that it is an epic allegory of the battle between good and evil. This comment may come naturally after the first reading of the book, however a deeper and more serious analysis could show a more complex version of the literary text.

While there are a great number of these allegorical conventions, in the end they all help make things easier to understand, whether it be by doing things such as bringing larger, more complex events down onto a smaller scale, or by making it more obvious to the viewers what the issues it is addressing are. This can clearly be seen in George Orwell’s Animal Farm

novel that has a double story to it, readers will learn about the characters and how each ones characteristics affects or influences others.

Throughout Canto 1 there is an allegorical, literal, moral, and anagogical meaning to every stanza. Allegorical meaning means that something represents other things as well as the literal meaning. At the age of 35 Dante went off the true path of God and sinned. He wanders so far off the path that he can no longer see the light of God. He loses himself in the woods and loses the light of God. This shows that he sinned but doesn’t know how or why he sinned. After wandering in the woods, lost and scared
