Description

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1,3, University of Osnabruck, language: English, abstract: You shall not steal. You shall not lie, neither shall any man deceive his neighbour. (Leviticus 19, Douay-Rheims Bible) This concept has not only long been a convention for religion but also a canon for society. Children have always been taught early that stealing is illegal. Representations can be found in several literary works as for example in Aesop's fables. The issue of moral education was also a current subject during the Victorian era.

Kuznet, only deal with representations of nature or with nostalgia in Grahame's The Wind in the Willows and like David J. Earp with genetic engineering of plants in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. With my research I want to look from a different angle on his literary work. To investigate further in the research of moral education in books during the late Victorian era, I compare the stealing scene in The Wind in the Willows (Grahame 110-114) to The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter since both extracts are of special intere
