This is evidence if needed of how well the old fables encapsulate human nature, and do so in a witty and entertaining way. It also means that we can quite easily use these old fables as both inspiration and guide to create fresh and relevant fables of our own.
The Nose Job: A Modern Fable — Your Whole Baby
Play with the formula Fables tend to be very formulaic. This is not a bad thing as it allows the writer to concentrate on the delivery of the message within a well-established framework.
However, now that we know what strengthens and what weakens a fable, we can play with the formula to make the fable a little more dynamic. Story type Story is often pure fantasy in the fable, which reflects in the use of anthropomorphic character. There is no effort made to convince the reader of the reality of the situation; it is the reality of the human weakness portrayed that is the function of the tale. The main way to break with the tradition of the formula is to give it a context and situation of realism. Style We can follow the style of the Aesopic fable or take the vocabulary and imagery from elsewhere; from the modern world around us, for example.
The more elaborate our language, though, the longer the fable is likely to be. Description Description must be plot-related and kept to a bare minimum. Language is often condensed and connective words and phrases used to push the plot on quickly. Temporal connectives point out when things are happening and the passage of time. Dialogue Dialogue is cynical, witty, innocent, honest, often contrived and preachy when delivering on the message, but always short, sharp, to the point and effective. Our Aesopic fable here lacks dialogue. Or we might get stuck into the theme the human weakness straightaway.
But we must at least introduce character in the first line. This sort of twist gives the ending a lot of punch. But whether we have a twist or not, once the message is delivered the fable must end. There is now no reason to go on writing and to continue doing so might distract from the message and even leave the reader confused.
