Fairy Tales Journey to a New World

Elements of a Fairy Tale A fairy tale is a fictional story that may feature folkloric characters (such as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, witches, giants, and talking animals) and enchantments, often involving a far-fetched sequence of events. The term is also used to describe something blessed with unusual happiness, as in "fairy tale ending" (a happy ending) or "fairy tale romance," though not all fairy tales end happily. Fairy tales are a genre in literature. They have their roots in the oral tradition. Fairy tales with very similar plots, characters, and motifs are found spread across many different cultures.

Fairy Tale Checklist Does it have a special beginning/ending? – Once upon a time...and they lived happily ever after. Sometimes, there is even a surprise ending. Is there a good character (protagonist)? – Often possesses the characteristics of being kind, innocent, etc. – Is the good character helped by others or show extreme cleverness despite his/her situation? Is there a bad character (antagonist)? – Evil stepmother, witch, demon, sinister gnome – In the end, the evil character loses somehow.

Fairy Tale Checklist, cont’d. Is there some sort of royalty displayed? – Castle, prince, princess, king, queen? Is there poverty within the story? – Poor working family – Poor working girl – Poor shepherd – Do you see people trying to make a living just to survive? Do you see magic enchantments? – Fairies, trolls, talking animals, magical events taking place

Fairy Tale Checklist, *deep breath* still cont’d. Are there reoccurring patterns or numbers? – Do you see any patterns? – Do you see things, phrases, or tasks appear in “threes,” “sixes,” and/or “sevens”? Is there a universal truth? – What universal experience (coming of age, getting married) or hopes (experience love, have enough food/shelter) is displayed throughout the piece?

Pause and Reflect #1 What have you learned in these first few slides that you didn’t know about fairy tales already?

Back to the Basics As the first slide stated, fairy tales are a combination of plot, characters, and motif. To completely understand how a fairy tale functions, we must completely understand what each of these pieces contain.

Plot Plot is not only present in short stories, but also in fairy tales (which are a form of short stories…more on that later). Elements of plot: – Exposition – Inciting Incident – Rising Action – Climax – Falling Action – Resolution

Characters Character list in a fairy tale: – Royalty – Poor – Evil (antagonist) – Good (protagonist) – Magical

Pause and Reflect #2 What is something new that you learned, or what is something that you already knew about plot and characters in a fairy tale?
