An allegory is a story in which the entire work involves characters and actions that stand for abstract ideas or historic events. It has two levels of meaning, one involving the characters, setting, plot, etc, and the symbolic level, where ideas are abstracted into characters, figures, events. A well known example is Plato's Cave where education or the lack if it is represented by the shadows and the sun.

I would say social satire... But since it says novel at the end of the sentence that would sound a bit strange...
Answer:
The given passage is taken from "Billy Bud, Sailor" written by Herman Melville.
Explanation:
The text appears in Chapter 13 of the novel.
Billy Bud is a sailor and the protagonist of the novel.
The narrator in this text is referring to Claggart's passions. The narrator states that passions can bring a person to his lowest point and it does not require 'palatial stage' to be provoked. In this passage, Claggart had started to resent Billy.
Claggart is the exact opposite character of Billy. Billy, on the one hand, is innocent, Claggart on the other is evil and wicked.
