allegorised
Told through symbols
Allegorised is the British spelling of allegorized, the past tense of allegorise.
To allegorise is to represent something as an allegory or interpret it allegorically—treating characters, events, or objects as symbols for abstract ideas: Medieval scholars allegorised classical myths as Christian moral lessons.
The painting allegorised the struggle between vice and virtue.
