La Fontaine si presenta come il continuatore di Esopo e Fedro e il discepolo di Epicuro; ha spesso intenzioni morali e la satira e il contrasto sono fra i suoi metodi preferiti. Fra le favole più celebri "Il gallo e la volpe", "Il corvo e la volpe", "Il gatto e la tigre". La morte è uno degli elementi ricorrenti nelle Favole, in associazione al diritto del più forte, senza però trascurare il senso di solidarietà e di pietà verso gli infelici. Forse una delle morali complessive delle Favole è l'accettazione completa della natura umana.
