An allegory is designed to illustrate a coherent doctrine, which exists outside the fiction. The important matters in allegory is not the adequacy, coherence, or consistency of the doctrine which is being illustrated in the story, however, it is how the words deals with the belief system.
Everything in the story bears the point of reference to more specific aspect of the controlling doctrine, which the fiction is illustrating.
