Plot Features of Folktales Developed by Amy Thornton Dyer School

FOLKTALES Folktales are stories that grow out of the lives & imaginations of the people, of folk.

FOLKTALES Folktales began as an attempt to explain the natural & spiritual world. They began orally.

FOLKTALES Folktales have been passed from: generation to generation country to country

FOLKTALES Each teller of a folktale would slightly change the words. Folktales changed a great deal through this retelling process.

FOLKTALES There are several different kinds of folktales: Cumulative (There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly) Talking Beast (The Three Little Pigs) Humorous Tales (silly stories) Realistic Stories (Blue Beard) Romances (Beauty & the Beast) Tales of magic (Aladdin)

FOLKTALES Folktales begin with an introduction naming the: »characters »setting (often a road, bridge or forest) »conflict / problem

FOLKTALES After the introduction is the development of the plot. Action mounts until the climax (where the problem will be solved) The hero or heroine faces many obstacles and is usually helpless just before the climax.

FOLKTALES The conclusion is usually short and sweet. In the end, everything is resolved: the heroes are happy and the villains are punished can end with “and they lived happily ever after”

FOLKTALES The plot is important and the characters are “shallow”.

FOLKTALES A folktale usually starts quickly and is action packed.

FOLKTALES There is usually humor and a sense of justice-- good is rewarded and evil is punished.
