Abstract


Summari

Тhis paper focuses on the study of the fable as a literary genre and its importance in teaching. A fable is a short story that usually uses personified animals to convey a moral lesson or life wisdom. It combines simple form, dramatic structure and specific style to effectively convey its message.

The fable has a long history and its origins go back thousands of years. Over the centuries, fables have evolved and changed, but they have retained their basic characteristics. Their popularity has remained high because of their ability to entertain, educate and provoke thought among readers. The dramatic structure of a fable includes an introduction, a plot, a climax and a denouement.In the introduction, the characters are introduced and the basic situation is set. The plot brings a conflict or problem that is resolved during the climax, and the denouement brings the moral or conclusion of the story. Fables are known for their simplicity, aphorism, and use of allegories. Their style is characterized by clarity, conciseness and dialogic expression. Fables often use the personification of animals to get closer to the readers and make it easier to understand the moral lesson. In teaching, fables play an important role in the education and moral development of students. Through reading and analyzing fables, students can develop critical thinking, moral values, empathy and language skills.Fables can be used as a tool for discussion, essay writing, dramatization or illustration, thus encouraging creativity and active participation of students.
