| ecbasis captivi خرافة لاتينية Explanation: A fable is a short story that exemplifies an abstract moral thesis or principle of human behaviour; usually in its conclusion either the narrator or one of the characters states the moral in the form of an epigram. Most common is the beast fable, in which animals talk and act like the human types they represent. In the familiar fable of the fox and the grapes, the fox - after vainly exerting all his wiles to get the grapes hanging beyond his reach - concludes that they are probably sour anyway: the express moral is that human beings belittle what they cannot get. An early set of beast fables was attributed to Aesop, a Greek slave of the sixth century B.C.; in the secenteenth century a Frenchman, Jean de la Fontaine wrote a set of witty fables in verse which are the classics of this literary kind. Chaucer's 'The Nun's Priest's Tale' the story of the cock and the fox, is a beast fable; the American Joel Chandler Harris (1848-1908) wrote many Uncle Remus stories which are beast fables, told in Black southern dialect and based on Black folktales; James Thurber's Fables for our Time(1940) is a set of short fables; and in Animal Farm (1945) George Orwell expeanded the beast fable into a sustained satire on the political and social conditions of our era. |
