  • Information found: (parable. A tale designed to teach a moral lesson. Usually, as in the parables of Jesus in the New Testament, the story involves human beings whose actions are clarified by the concluding moral. The parable differs from allegory, in which the characters represent abstract qualities, and from fable, in which the moral is unstated because it is presumed to be self-evident.)

  • Information found: Parable (A parable is a succinct story, in prose or verse, which illustrates one or more instructive principles, or lessons, or (sometimes) a normative principle. It differs from a fable in that fables use animals, plants, inanimate objects, and forces of nature as characters, while parables generally feature human characters. A parable is a short tale that illustrates universal truth, one of the simplest of narratives. It sketches a setting, describes an action, and shows the results)

670 ## - SOURCE DATA FOUND

  • Source citation: Wheeler, K. Parables and fables : from symbolism to allegory?, via WWW, Nov. 14, 2018
  • Information found: (In common parlance, a parable is a story or short narrative designed to reveal allegorically some religious principle, moral lesson, psychological reality, or general truth. Rather than using abstract discussion, a parable always teaches by comparison with real or literal occurrences--especially "homey" everyday occurrences a wide number of people can relate to; A fable is also a brief story illustrating a moral. Unlike the parables, fables often include talking animals or animated objects as the principal characters. The interaction of these animals or inanimate things reveals general truths about human nature, i.e., a person can learn practical lessons from the fictional antics in a fable. However, the lesson learned is not allegorical. Each animal is not necessarily a symbol for something else. Instead, the reader learns the lesson as an exemplum--an example of what one should or should not do)
