Role of Allegory and Arts

Aria Kalsan provides a framework for artists, writers, and creative people to tell their story through an allegorical facade. An allegory, as a literary device, provides a certain distance from the real events, issues, and people that it references. This allows for an accessible way to present information in a nonpartisan manner. Since the allegorical meaning of the story is cloaked under layers of symbolism, the meaning can raise issues that are normally taboo.

 

Modern allegories can tackle difficult issues such as the dangers of global warming, the loss of innocence in our youth, the disconnect in modern urban lifestyles and relationships, or any important topic of the day.

 

Allegorical Literature

From Africa to Greece to China, allegories are an important literary tradition found in all countries and eras.

 

If you enjoy allegories or would like to learn more, here are just a few examples:

* L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz"
