What is the moral of the poem Fable by Ralph Waldo Emerson?
Answers
God made the world and He made us. Behind every creation of God there is a purpose. Smaller species are capable to perform which the larger species can not and vice versa. There is no reason to look down upon a species just because they are physically weak and feeble. May be, they themselves are not conscious about the tremendous potential they have. As long as the purpose of life is not found, many a times such genius remains unexplored largely.
Answer:
Fable" is a poem written by Ralph Waldo Emerson. A "fable" is a short tale to teach a lesson. A "prig" is someone who is self-righteous. In this tale, Emerson tells us to not judge others and try to understand that people unlike us also have qualities that we don't have. For example, the mountain may be able to carry forrests on his back but he can't crack a nut like a squirrel.
"Fable" is written as one stanza with 19 lines. The rhyme scheme is AABCBDDEEFFGHHIJKJK. As you can see, not all the lines rhyme. This is Emerson's way to put importance on a line and change the rhythm to change emotion.
