  Apologue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So similar to a parable, that it is usually considered a synonym, the rhetoricians' apologue is a brief fiction with pointed or exaggerated details, illustrating a moral truth without explicitly stating it.
Like the parable the apologue is a tool of rhetorical argument introduced in order to convince or persuade.
Montesquieu wrote a propos his Persian Letters "There are certain truths of which it is not enough to persuade, but which must be made to be felt Such are the moral verities.

 apologue - definition by dict.die.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
apologue n : a short moral story (often with animal characters) [syn: fable, parable, allegory ]
apologue.] A story or relation of fictitious events, intended to convey some moral truth; a moral fable.
Note: An apologue differs from a parable in this;: the parable is drawn from events which take place among mankind, and therefore requires probability in the narrative; the apologue is founded on supposed actions of brutes or inanimate things, and therefore is not limited by strict rules of probability.

The parable differs from the apologue in the inherent probability of a realistic story, one taking place in some familiar setting of life.
In its brevity and succinctness a parable is like a fable ; it differs from the fable by excluding animals that assume speech and other powers of humankind, as in Aesop 's fables.

Often, the apologue highlights the irrationality of mankind.
Some critics have called Samuel Johnson's Rasselas an apologue rather than a novel because it is more concerned with moral philosophy than with character or plot.

 Claudio Tugnoli, The victimary compromise in zooanthropological tradition (Dialegesthai)
The importance of the attribution of this faculty to speak is missed by most interpreters, who read in the universal tradition of speaking animals the expression of a literary genre with moralising intent.
In this very ancient concept -- which still lives on in the subconscious mind of modern man and which post-modernism is attempting to bring back to the light -- plants, men and animals are manifestations of the same life; man does not possess anything more than what other living beings have.
A variation of this apologue is found in the corpus of Aesop's fables (252) where the plants that refuse the crown are two, the olive tree and the fig tree.

Niko, however, pride-fully reacts to it by refusing a suitcase full of money that an old friend, who has now turned into a gangster, has offered him.
The film now becomes a lucid apologue: Niko sets out on a journey to Italy in search of his son Keli who has emigrated to that country but has lost his life to save a woman on the hellish course of one of the pirate ships carrying stowaways.
While describing the transition from a communist regime to a democratic but still weak system of government, the director has ideally filled the expanse of sea between the two shores of the Adriatic with moving pathos and sympathy.

It didn’t matter if the topic was considered taboo or not, as Franklin never seemed to scoff at the chance to put his idea’s to paper, as unpopular as they might be.
Franklin wrote “Old Mistresses Apologue” as a recommendation for a friend.
He insisted that marriage was the ideal way to go about fraternizing with a woman, but if no marriage was present, or immanent, perhaps an older mistress is more desirable.
