What element of allegory does this passage contain?
Time passed and both Aunty Misery and her tree grew
bent and gnarled with age. One day another traveler
stopped at her door. This one looked untrustworthy to
her, so before letting him into her home, the old woman
asked him what he was doing in her village. ...
"I am Death, and I have come to take you with me."
