"The Role Of Fables in Human Life"

I agree with what Edward Clayton is addressing in this article. He disscusses about how every fable has a different meaning, all depending on the way you view life. When I was reading the fable about the "Works and Days", I interpreted it as the strong ones were the political people with money and the weak ones were the middle class people. Also that the strong ones will always be on top and the weak ones would either stay as the weak ones or will do anything to go up.
