Fable and Archetype
Captions available
The idea
The glossary defines a fable as a short traditional story with archetypal characters ending in a moral, and an archetype as a universal symbol, which may be a character, a theme, a symbol or a setting. Both terms belong to this band's material and both are examinable.
In practice
A moral at the end, and stock figures.
Where people slip
Both terms are the glossary's.
