Features: The Fables of Aesop feature diverse techniques, simple structures, tight plots, and concise language. For example, in "The Farmer and the Snake," through the contrast between the farmer's kindness and the snake's evil, and the contrast between the farmer's initial pity for the snake and later hatred, the theme is highlighted with the farmer's final exclamation, leaving a deep impression on the reader.
