Catharsis<span> is the process of venting aggression as a way to release or get rid of emotions. Have you ever been so angry that you went outside and yelled or hit a pillow? Psychologists call this method catharsis. You may have heard someone say something was 'cathartic,' meaning it released emotion. For example, if you are angry you might hit something or scream, and that might make you feel better.</span>
First of all, an allegory is a story with characters and the plot symbolizing an aspect of real life. Probably the most common reason as to why writers would write allegories is that they want to deliver a message to the human race. Something that we should think about. Animal Farm is a good example of that. Animal Farm depicts the political blasphemy of a society using animals (comparing humans to animals too) Another reason would be the writer might want to express something in his life but doesn't want to explicitly express it. So he uses and allegory.
C)the horses drawing the sun
Juliet is addressing the horses drawing the sun. She uses the words "gallop" and "steeds" to describe them. Also, in the background information provided, it says that Phoebus has a "horse-drawn chariot that travels across the sky each day." The sun is not a steed, nor it is plural. The same is true of Phoebus and Phoebus's chariot. Therefore, these options are all eliminated. The horses are the only possible answer.
