Abstract
In this Thesis, La Fontaine and Aesop will be studied and compared by means of those works of theirs which are, perhaps, the best remembered: The Fables.
La Fontaine's and Aesop's Fables are well known for the moral inculcated in each. They have always in mind one purpose ... to teach the reader. La Fontaine used many of the Fables of Aesop as a background for his own Fables. Those of Aesop possessed no graces of style, and so La Fontaine added graces of style to those he wrote.
