DP #8: Parable of The Wicked Tenants

In the Parable of the Wick Tenants, the Landowner is the protagaonist because he gets abused and tormented by the tenants. Although some may say the tenant is the protagaonist because the tenant is the victim in a society where the wealth is located only at the very top of the social ladder, however the actions of the tenants are so cruel and uncalled for that the landowner becomes the vicitm. Though the landowner has an extreme amount of wealth, the tenants killing the son and all of his servants is never acceptable. The Parable of the Wicked Tenant shows not only of the negative effects of a society where only a select few owns most of the wealth on the poor peasants, yet it shows how it negatively effects everyone involved in this unequal economic structure.
