4. Presentation of Based on your activity, our lesson for today
the New Lesson is critiquing literary selection using moralist
approach.

Do you have any thoughts in mind why the

fable “The Turtle and The Monkey” can be
subjected to moralist approach?
"The Turtle and the Monkey" can be
subjected to a moralist approach because it
teaches important lessons about caution,
perseverance, and the danger of
underestimating others.

Exactly!
5. Discussion Moralist Approach is a type of literary
critique that judges the value of the
literature based on the moral lessons or
ethical teachings.

The fable of the turtle and the monkey is a

popular example of a story that could be
analyzed using the moralist approach.

From a moralist approach, the fable of the

turtle and the monkey teaches a lesson
about the dangers of greed and the
importance of treating others fairly.

Caesar, kindly read the second explanation?

Its concern is not only to discover meaning
but also to determine whether works of
literature are both true and significant.

Is the story of the turtle and the monkey

based on real events?

4
 The fable of the turtle and the monkey is
not a true story, but rather a fictional tale
created to convey a moral lesson. However,
from a moralist approach, the significance
of the story lies in the ethical teachings it
conveys.

It highlights the negative consequences of

blindly trusting others and not being
mindful of their true intentions. The fable
emphasizes the importance of treating
others with respect and gratitude, as the
monkey's deceitful and ungrateful behavior
ultimately leads to his downfall.

It is used to determine whether a work

Shayna, may you read the third conveys a lesson or message and whether it
explanation? can help readers lead better lives and
improve their understanding of the world.

Although the story of the turtle and the

monkey is not true, it is significant in that it
conveys a universal moral lesson that can
be applied to real-life situations.
The fable of the turtle and the monkey is a
good example of a work that conveys a
clear message or lesson.

By highlighting the dangers of blindly

trusting others, the story encourages readers
to think critically and carefully about who
they trust and why. This lesson can be
applied to a wide range of real-life
situations, from personal relationships to
business dealings.

Gerwyn, may you please read the last Using the moralist approach, literature that
explanation of a moralist approach? is ethically sound and virtuous is praised
while literature that misguides and corrupts
is condemned.

From a moralist perspective, literary works

are not merely sources of entertainment or
aesthetic pleasure, but also have a

5
 responsibility to promote moral values and
ethical behavior. Works that uphold virtues
such as honesty, integrity, and compassion
are seen as morally valuable, while those
that promote vices such as greed,
selfishness, and cruelty are considered
morally suspect.

From a moralist perspective, the fable of

the turtle and the monkey can be seen as
promoting virtues such as friendship,
kindness, and respect. The story emphasizes
the importance of treating others fairly and
reminds us that our actions have
consequences. By depicting the monkey's
selfish behavior and the turtle's wise words,
the fable teaches a moral lesson that can be
applied to our own lives.

None, ma’am.
Any questions?

6. Generalization Let’s have a recap to check if you really

understood our lesson.

According to the moralist approach, what is

the responsibility of literary works in
promoting moral values and ethical
behavior?

Yes, Carmhel?
According to the moralist approach, literary
works have a responsibility to promote
moral values and ethical behavior. Works
that uphold virtues such as honesty,
integrity, and compassion are seen as
morally valuable, while those that promote
vices such as greed, selfishness, and cruelty
are considered morally suspect. The
moralist approach holds that literature
should not only entertain or provide
aesthetic pleasure, but also have a positive
impact on society by encouraging readers to
adopt virtuous behavior and attitudes.
That’s an excellent answer!
7. Valuing Angelique, can you explain why it is
important to analyze literature using the
moralist approach?
Analyzing literature using the moralist
approach is important because it helps to
identify the moral lessons or ethical

6
 teachings conveyed by the work, which can
be applied to real-life situations and
promote virtuous behavior.

Excellent answer!

How about Darylle?

In what ways can the analysis of literature

using the moralist approach contribute to
society’s understanding of right and wrong? Analyzing literature using the moralist
approach can provide insights and lessons
about ethical behavior, which can
contribute to society's understanding of
right and wrong.
