Abstract

The study endeavors to shed light on the influential contribution  of fiction on culture as well as the positive function that it plays in the process of acquiring morals. It strives to investigate the secret of the fictitious contribution to the dissemination of culture. Consequently, it focuses on Aesop's fables since they have a significant amount of popularity all over the world. These narratives have been playing vital contributions to transculturality even since ancient times when there were no technological advancements readily available.  It has been observed that Aesop's characterization, which acquires  relationships between animals, regardless of whether they are harmonious or not, as well as those between humans and nonhumans, has  a major impact on Aesop's fables. Several stories that have been included in this collection have been written with a sarcastic tone. It is possible to conclude that Aesop's power resides in his great craft of teaching people the value of moderation and wisdom, how to overcome difficulties and fulfill their aspirations, and how to trust in themselves more fully. This is all accomplished via the use of his fables.
