In [[An Aesop]], the writer has a lesson to teach to the audience. In a [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]], the writer has a rather unconventional and possibly offensive message to give to the audience. In a [[Broken Aesop]], the writer is aiming for an Aesop without realizing (s)he's undermined that Aesop in the course of the story.
