About this item:
Animal Nature
By telling stories of human problems set as if they are played out in the animal worlds, we can gain insights into our own frailties, vanities and inertia. By making comparisons we can very often gain the understanding that we need to move onwards.
We can see reflections of ourselves in the characters of animals. The wolf in Little Red Riding Hood represents the predatory nature of men. The dragons that needed to be slayed were, and are, the threats from bullies. Sometimes people, sometimes nations.
The stories that follow in this section include animals to symbolise the pressures of life. Our need to strive to advance at the expense of happiness. Our erroneous beliefs about others, including nature.
