Allegories refer to any piece of writing which have a hidden message. The hidden message most often refers to one of a political or moral nature. Hotel Rwanda, a movie about a man who shelters hundreds of people from mass genocide in Rwanda explores the themes of genocide and taking charge for one's own safety. It is an example of allegory.
A commentary on the other hand refers to a piece of writing or visual which offers opinions about a specific topic or tries to explain a certain phenomenon in greater detail.

Taken from the short story “<em>The Cask of Amontillado</em>” by Edgar Allan Poe (1846), the part of the excerpt mentioned above that uses irony is the one that narrates the moment when Fortunato tells Montresor that he has a cold before going down into the catacombs, but Montresor <u>already knows how Fortunato's end will be</u>. <em>Irony </em>is a figure of speech through which words are used in a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning. The use of irony in this part of this excerpt can be spotted when Montresor replies, "<em>True —true.</em>" to Fortunato, since he knows it is <em>true that Fortunato shall not die of a cough</em>.
