Abstract

The main objective of this research is to carry out an analysis of the structural elements that can be found in the modern and non-Christian parables "The Needlewoman", "!The Royal Theater" and "Kernels and Shells", by the Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. We intend to observe and demonstrate the differences and similarities between traditional and modern versions and, therefore, contribute to the increase of studies in this field.(AU)
