“…For Lewis (1958), "allegory, in some sense, belongs not to medieval man but to man, or even to mind, in general" (p. 44). Though much more rampant in political appreciations, allegory has also been adopted to address many functional purposes like religion Dimitriu, 2014;Khan, 2017;Knapp, 2014;Phair, 2010;Scalia, 2016;Shohat, 2006) to satire, raise rhetoric, promote, and suppress ideological systems (Hile, 2017;Milford & Rowland, 2012;Virtue, 2013;Xu, 2018); for "legal ownership and use" as contained in Chaucer's Melibee (Taylor, 2009); Crime fictions and other moral suasions (Rolls et al, 2016); culture, gender, race, and ethnicity (Achinger, 2013;Gilfedder, 2016;Kaarst-Brown, 2017;R. C. Smith, 1949); and not in the least for pure appreciation of literary values, language, and cognitive figuration (Harris & Tolmie, 2011;Monelle, 1997;Rolls et al, 2016).…”
