Are allegorical stories deeper?

Depends on whether it's done well.

No. Fiction is only for entertainment and to pass the time in a fun, breezy manner. Nothing more.

Only when it never overrides a story's primary purpose of entertaining the consumer. At the end of the day, no fictional allegorical story ever led to changes in the world.

This guy gets it. I spend all day doing machine diagnostics, all I want after work is to shut my brain off.

Depends on the audience. Most people don't care about stuff unless it's explicitly spelled out.
