Symbolic and Mythological Connotations
In the fables and fairy tales a donkey is a stubborn, and very often stupid animal. Therefore, the word donkey is at present used in the pejorative sense. In the allegory about the Buridan’s donkey, a donkey dies of hunger, because he could not decide between the two equally good haystacks to eat.
In the regions of South Africa and Mesopotamia donkeys had been worshipped as deities.
