An allegory is basically a literature device that uses a poem or even a picture to reveal a hidden meaning behind something. In simpler words, an allegory is a form of symbolism. Power is a form of allegory, as power can be interpreted differently and used differently be those who have power, in a moral or political form. Additionally, as seen throughout Animal Farm, more specifically, power is commonly seen being used in a corrupt manner by Napoleon (Joseph Stalin), while the Seven Commandments describe power as being equally diverse amongst the animals to allow equality within society.
