Mai come oggi è stato facile comunicare e dare voce ai nostri pensieri attraverso l'uso delle parole. Twitter, sms, e-mail, post si moltiplicano e rimbalzano, circolano a una velocità tale da diventare irrecuperabili già pochi minuti dopo averli pubblicati - quelli aggressivi e tossici, trasmessi con la stessa impulsiva facilità di quelli amichevoli.

La Fontaine si presenta come il continuatore di Esopo e Fedro e il discepolo di Epicuro; ha spesso intenzioni morali e la satira e il contrasto sono fra i suoi metodi preferiti. Fra le favole più celebri "Il gallo e la volpe", "Il corvo e la volpe", "Il gatto e la tigre". La morte è uno degli elementi ricorrenti nelle Favole, in associazione al diritto del più forte, senza però trascurare il senso di solidarietà e di pietà verso gli infelici.
