Chapter 61 La Fontaine's Fables

La Fontaine's Fables I love reading La Fontaine's fables.His fables are different from Aesop's.Aesop's apartment The language is to use the mouth of the fox and the lion to speak the human language to instill human morality, so it is believed that the fox It's wrong to steal chicks.In fact, people can eat hens, why can't foxes eat chicks? Moreover, what basis do you have to judge the fox for "stealing"?Fox society has no money, If it is hungry and wants to eat, there is no meat merchant except to hunt by its own ability. Someone delivered it to the door.

Lafontaine's fable is a bit different. The fox, the lion and the monkey are also present, but it What they speak is not necessarily "human language", what they speak is all their own words.This means that, It is to express opinions from the standpoint of various birds and beasts, rather than imitating or repeating human opinions. It is the biggest feature of La Fontaine's Fables.He is very sympathetic to all creatures in nature and never makes it They preach to human beings in a sanctimonious manner. This great seventeenth-century French fabler had once served as a garden official in the country, so for

Natural knowledge is abundant.It is precisely because of this life experience that he can be different from ordinary people. Like the fabler, only by measuring the behavior of the fox with human moral standards can one walk into it. Their world makes his fables full of natural wit and irony. Let's take a look at his fox, which is about an old fox with a broken tail. talk: There was an old fox who was good at catching chickens and rabbits. He could catch chickens and rabbits from half a mile away. Smell of something good.But one day he finally missed and fell into the hunter's trap.thanks to it

His skills are so strong that he finally managed to escape.But it is not without loss, it turns out that it lost its tail. A fox without a tail is simply outrageous.This old thing is also very scheming, since he If you have no tail, why not make others like you.So it convened the same kind to open a large Yes, publicly and generously announced at the meeting: "Our tails are such a nuisance that, besides dragging behind and sweeping the floor, Useless.This thing is completely redundant, I suggest that everyone cut it off together!" "What an insightful proposal"!A little fox said, "Please old man

Everyone stand aside for now, let us cast the vote." When the old fox turned back and stood away, everyone found that it had already lost its tail, and there was an uproar Laughed, got the point of its proposal.So everyone dispersed.Everyone is still dragging himself tail, no one pays attention to it. La Fontaine's fables are all written in rhyme, not prose.He also has several novels A collection of stories, well written and entertaining.
