    • ALLEGORY DOES NOT SUBLIMATE THE PHYSICALITY OF THE BODY, RATHER IT INTENSIFIES IT - intensified further through allegorical figurations that are compounded upon each other 
  • Errour:  she is a figure of allegory itself, she must be unravelled through signifiers
  • Britomart's mirror: we are placed into a world that is already moving, these characters are not static - kind of like a magic seeing orb → this world is not contingent on understanding the personifications - it functions regardless?
    • None of the figures mentioned are satisfactorily understood as abstractions 
  • allegory in action (rather than static - Gloriana is static in her perfection, she is fragmented into various characters who move - Britomart is most interesting in terms of movement; a displaced Gloriana)
  • Female figures that can at once ‘be’ allegorical, be compounded of various dynamic or discrete allegories, AND work on their own terms as agents, fields of emotion
