As a critical term, a fabel includes three interrelated but distinct aspects: firstly, an analysis of the events portrayed in the story. In an epic production, this analysis would focus on the social interactions between the characters and the causality of their behaviour from a historical materialist perspective; the "fabel" summarizes "the moral of the story not in a merely ethical sense, but also in a socio-political one". For example, in relation to Brecht's play "Man Equals Man" (1926), Wright argues that "he "fabel" of this play centres on the transformation of an individual through his insertion into a collective."
