Allegories are used in many types of works and The Divine Comedy is one of them. They are used in many works because they allow the writer to convey complex ideas and moral principles while telling an entertaining story. The writer wants to entertain the reader while reading the story and not just state the facts and bore the reader. Each physical element in an allegory corresponds to a larger philosophical or spiritual element. Stories and books are connected and one story can connect to another and have the same principles and morals as another book. The authors want to use allegories in their work, because they want to show that not only in this story, this situation is happening, but if in real life or some time ago, this happened.,
