Fox trickster’s building takes into account his connections with social realities of the society.
Family cell must be taken into account in the definition of these behavioral mechanisms. Renart
doesn’t consider the family ethic that recommends wife’s or husband’s respect and the
importance of relationship. His connections are adversarial with the family whose actions tend to
destroy. The present study aims to analyze the functioning of such a confrontation between
Renart and family whose structure is a miniature representation and the denunciation discourse
interest of the authors based rightly on human being behavior and on society.
Keywords: Trickster, fox folktales, family, relationship, destruction,
