However, Golding deviates from typical allegory in that both the protagonists and the antagonists are fully developed, realistic characters.

For whoever put that on wikipedia, that's an odd point of contention to hang your hat on when judging how allegorical something is.

Besides, are all of them are fully developed? Are they more developed than those of Animal Farm, which is undeniably an allegory?
