Garrison Keillors The debauched tidings vs. Lukes The emblem of the rakehell SonThe classic story of the wasteful Son is one of the outmatch known metaphors in literature. A par adapted is often times depict as a short narrative which t distributivelyes a moral however, the spell is more realistic, than say a fable, and the characters are humans as champion to animals or natural forces within nature. Parables are also presented in a more suggestive tone, which leaves them more open to interpretation. The play Prodigal Son told by Garrison Keillor differs greatly in terms of style compared to Lukes The Parable of the Prodigal Son told in the Catholic hired handures. Both of these parables convey the very(prenominal) moral, however, both are open to very disparate interpretation. This option for different interpretations when referring to this story truly exemplifies what a parable is meant to be. Keillor took the classic story of the Prodigal Son, told in the writings of Luke, and was able to transform it into a comedic piece of literature, in which people of the times could better relate to.It is argued that Keillors version is disrespectful to the fender parable however, I disagree with that for many reasons. Understanding the veritable description f a parable itself assists in the supporting of Keillors style and technique. The parable story the Prodigal Son told by Keillor is much more dramatic, by which he was able to establish more tone within each character. He did that by writing the parable in a script form, which was intended to be acted out for an audience. That was not the case with thte biblical story, where it was told in third person perspective. Keillors version of unveiling the moral though the characters initiatory person dialog allowed the audienc... ...eturns home to a warm welcome. This definition holds veritable to the parable that is told by both Catholic scripture and Keillors comedy. Overall I found that Keillor did a n excellent job incorporating more personality to the characters in his story. This allowed for more of a connection between the audience and the parable itself. He was able to change the dynamics of the story using a more received method of comedy and wit in order to stay true to the moral told in the traditional scripture version of The Parable of the Prodigal Son.
