Allegories

I think that an allegory is a very nice way to show an idea of a feeling that can or cannot be shown in a direct way. An allegory can offer more ideas about a toppic and because of the way it is explained we pay more attention to it, and therefore, we learn more and can remember it like a story and not only as a simple concept. It gives a complete concept of something, for expample love, it can be nice, but ot also can make you suffer. In a way it shows both sides of the coin, like the image for "Justice", it is suppose to be blind (equals for all), but in real life sometimes this doesn't happen. Knowing now what an allegory is, I am sure the next time I see a picture I will look carefully to it, and try to undertsand what the artist is trying to express.
