Summary/Abstract: The author attempts to describe the inspiration that comes from several concepts of various authorswho are literary critics (E. Honing, L.L. Dickson), the researchers studying metaphors(P. Crisp) and studying creativity (G. Rose) and psychoanalysts who indicate educational gains,resulting from a “good analytic hour” in which the “binocular vision” occurs, coming from the allegorical“cognitive epistemology” and leading to sublimation conceived as a higher state of understandingof itself and the reality (H. Loewald, J. Miller).Among the many concepts of allegories presented earlier in her book “Allegories in aestheticspaces of pedagogy. Duality in expositions of the ironic allegorist – qualitativeresearch” shechooses, for the purpose of this article only a single one. It is the concept of thinking about allegoricalinterpretation of works of William Golding.
