   How does McDonagh deal with allegory?

   • As has been explored in this essay, McDonagh clearly deals in allegory. The naïve narrator Katurian is in many respects a monstrous creation. Yet his obtuseness, his utter inability to see hidden meanings in his own work, acts as the perfect foil because others indulgently invest his work with any meanings that suit their purposes.

   • McDonagh’s views are clear. He states plainly that an artist does not have responsibility for how his/her work is interpreted. He also states that a work of art may be “beautiful and worthwhile for its own sake,” which would eschew an expectation that art should instruct in some way.

   How does McDonagh use allegory in the Little Apple men?

   • McDonagh places quite a noticeable emphasis on allegory in the play. For instance, Tupolski asks Katurian specifically about his story “The Little Apple Men,” remarking that the father in the tale, “he represents something, does he?” This opens a discussion about how one may interpret a work versus what the author intended.

   Does McDonagh's presentation of the idiosyncratic Katurian shield him?

   • McDonagh’s presentation of the idiosyncratic Katurian serves to amuse a reader and deflate the heroic status of writers, but the irony needs further analysis. One solid interpretation is that Katurian’s ironic presentation, his utter inability to imagine that his work has any hidden meaning, actually shields him.
