I have heard there can be an allegory inside another allegory (mise en abyme), but what about 2 concurrent allegories (at the same time) and how do you insure that people don't get confused by the fact you employ different symbolisms for 2 different allegories concurrently instead of one after another? How would you do this? Think of Wizard of Oz, but with 2 different allegories being told concurrently instead of 1.
