La Fontaine uses many different stories and customs to make stories that are funny and teach lessons. This book is a mix of smart thinking, knowledge, and making fun of things, giving thoughts about love, wanting too much, and the rules of society back then. The content is full of characters that show different qualities and moral problems taken from normal life.
