Stylistic Elements of Fiction: Rule of Three & Magic Helper

Fairy Tales Short, narrative pieces of writing that are in the genre of fiction Typically feature folkloric characters such as: Fairies Dragons Elves Talking animals Giants or gnomes Other forms of enchantment Often involve a far-fetched (hard to believe) sequence of events

Rule of Three Strategy that suggests that things that come in threes are: naturally funnier more satisfying more effective than other numbers of things

Rule of Three The reader is also more likely to process information if it is written in groups of threes Go, fight, win! Character groupings Three Musketeers Three Little Pigs Goldilocks and the Three Bears Three Blind Mice Three Stooges

Rule of Three A series of three is often used to create a progression in which the tension is created, then built up, and finally released

Structure Authors often create triplets - or structures in three parts – which is even seen in the parts of a story…beginning, middle, and end “Jack and the Beanstalk” showed Jack climbing the beanstalk three times The wicked stepmother visited Snow White in the forest three times before she finally caused her to fall to her death In the “Wizard of Oz,” Dorothy is only able to return home to Kansas after clicking her ruby slippers together three times, chanting, “There’s no place like home.” In most folklore, there are three tasks which have to be performed to reach a certain goal

Magic Helper Many fairy tales have a typical list of characters that often include: the protagonist (or hero) a princess (or some other “damsel in distress”) a magic helper an antagonist (or villain)

Magic Helper The magic helper is a character who possesses an extraordinary kind of power that often assists the hero or heroine throughout his/her journey within the story. Can be supernatural, human, or animal

Magic Helpers Allow for things to occur within a story that would otherwise be impossible The element that usually links the genres of fairy tales & fantasy fiction Often assist other characters with their problems, allowing the plot to progress and the conflict(s) to be resolved

Something to think about … Would Cinderella have ever been able to make it to the ball on time if the Fairy Godmother’s wand had not turned the pumpkin into a coach, her rags into a dress, and the mice into horses? Would Pinocchio have been able to turn into a “real boy” without the blue fairy’s help? Would Aladdin have been able to end up with Jasmine if it hadn’t been for the genie?

Stylistic Elements It is important to recognize that stylistic elements such as the “rule of three” and “magic helper” are used as a part of the collection of strategies that fictional writers use to make their stories interesting
