The Marriage of Figaro, or The Mad Day

The fable is light comedy, and every comedy is simply a long fable. The difference between them is that in the fable the animals have some wit, whereas in our comedy men are often animals

These people are far from being virtuous – they authors does not present them as such. He does not take sides with any of them – he is the painter of their vices.
Because the lion is ferocious, the wolf voracious and gluttonous, the fox crafty and sly, must the fable lack a moral? When the author directs his moral against a fool besotted with flattery; when he causes the cheese to fall from the crow’s beak into the jaws of the fox, his moral is complete.

Had he turned the moral against the base base flatterer himself, the label would have ended thus: The fox seizes the cheese, and devours it – but, the cheese is poisoned. The fable is light comedy, and every comedy is simply a long fable. The difference between them is that in the fable the animals have some wit, whereas in our comedy men are often animals and what is worse, vicious animals.
