Allegory is no longer limited to words and its expressive powers as it was in the traditional context but has become more psychological. The paper also as to defines allegorically representation and its relation to objectivité. Allegorical representation to achieve its effects, has to be an ʻimitated imageʼ of reality, it should not be accepted as ʻrealʼ by the audience. The representation on stage is in relation to real but it is not a realistic image of society. Because it happens in a fictive world where there are no signs as to guide us where it is, in this sense, the dramatic theme requires and takes on a very objective perspective.
