individuals, couples, families, and

MORALIST CRITICISM
Moralist Criticism is a type of literary critique that
judges the value of the literature based on its moral
lessons or ethical teachings. It is also an approach use
to judge literary works according to moral rather than
formal principles. Literature that is ethically sound and
encourages virtue is praised while literature that
misguides and corrupts is condemned.
PRINCIPLES OF MORALIST

derived from a code of conduct from a particular
philosophy, religion or culture, or it can be
derived from a standard that a person believes
should be universal. Morality may also be
specifically synonymous with "goodness" or
"rightness".
PRINCIPLES OF MORALIST

right or wrong, good or evil. ( Panizo, 1964)
03 Human action is right when it conforms with the
norm, rule or law of morality.

THE FOX AND THE GRAPES
BY AESOP
One hot summer’s day a fox was strolling through an orchard when he
came to a bunch of grapes that were ripening on a vine, hanging over a
lofty branch. ‘Those grapes are just the things to quench my thirst,’ said
the fox. Drawing back a few paces, the fox took a run and a jump, but just
missed the bunch of grapes. Turning round again he jumped up, but with
no greater success. Again, and again the fox tried to jump up and reach
the juicy grapes, but at last had to give it up, and walked away with his
nose in the air, saying: ‘Oh well, I am sure they are sour anyway.’
STORY ANALYSIS
This little story strikes deep at the heart of something we know to be true: that
we all tell ourselves stories about the world, either to make ourselves feel
better about something (as is the case here with the fox and the grapes) or to
beat ourselves up about something. This little story, in other words, contains a
keen truth about the way we as humans tell stories ourselves, spinning
narratives, even fictional ones, to cope with failure and our inability to fulfil
our goals. In the last analysis, though, this little fable of the fox and the grapes
hides a nasty and uncomfortable truth: that we can very quickly turn from
desire to hatred purely because we don’t get what we want. Small wonder,
perhaps, that ‘sour grapes’ became such a famous phrase.
