What is another word for symbolical writings?
Pronunciation: [sɪmbˈɒlɪkə͡l ɹˈa͡ɪtɪŋz] (IPA) 
Symbolical writings are an essential aspect of art and literature, but sometimes, we may want to vary the terms we use to describe them. Some synonyms for symbolical writings include allegories, parables, metaphors, and similes. An allegory is a story or poem that has a hidden meaning, usually political or moral. Parables are similar, but they focus on a single lesson or message. Metaphors are figures of speech that compare two things, while similes use "like" or "as" to make a comparison. All of these terms refer to a form of writing that goes beyond the literal meaning of words, using symbols and imagery to express larger ideas and themes.
