Talk:Parable
From Academic Kids
" Recently there has been some interest in the field of contemporary parable, exploring how modern stories can be used as parables in our current culture." I haven't removed this statement, but there is no information contained in it. It is merely an expansion of the self-defining logism "modern parable." So I've added a link to the Parable of the broken window
But what about this? many fairy tales can be viewed as extended parables. Doesn't it seem generally agreed that what makes a parable not a fairy tale is no talking wolves, magic transformations, witches, spells, fairy godmothers yada yada yada. I wonder if I clipped out this statement, would anybody even notice eh? Wetman 23:30, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
