Now the one thing about success is that it can either be for the good or the bad. We would think that everyone is trying to be successful for good reason, but in Kalila and Dimna, there we find examples of deceitfulness and bad success.

Anderson who are the celebrated writers on the Jungle theme. Raja is a real tiger in a real place. It is a recognizable environment of Malgudi and so makes the story a credible one. Narayan’s novels and stories have over the decades established Malgudi as a familiarity and security goes a very long way to make the improbable elements in the story imaginatively acceptable to the readers.

Humans being creatures of amenity, they do not tend to lean towards explanations which they do not fully understand or that favors concepts that do not give control to the self. In stories like Cupid and Psyche fate, which is linked to religion, is used to explain the concepts of this theory. “Psyche was not naturally either very strong or very brave, but the cruel power of fate made a virago of her” (Apuleius, 117).

fairy tales are harmless and fun stories, many of the people in earlier times did not think so, such as the puritans. The Puritans did not like fairy tales.
