One cold winter day a bear comes to their house to shelter, and they give him food and drink. Later, in the spring, the girls are in the forest, and they see a dwarf whose beard is stuck under a tree. The girls cut his beard to free him, but he is not grateful. Some days after, they see the dwarf attacked by a large bird and again rescue him. Next, they see the dwarf with treasure. He tells the bear that they are thieves. The bear recognizes the sisters and scares the dwarf away. After hugging the sisters, he turns into a prince. The girls go to his castle, marry the prince and his brother and their mother joins them.

  • Introduction: Fairy Tale Films, Old Tales with a New Spin
    Notes Introduction: Fairy Tale Films, Old Tales with a New Spin 1. In terms of terminology, ‘folk tales’ are the orally distributed narratives disseminated in ‘premodern’ times, and ‘fairy tales’ their literary equiva- lent, which often utilise related themes, albeit frequently altered. The term ‘ wonder tale’ was favoured by Vladimir Propp and used to encompass both forms. The general absence of any fairies has created something of a mis- nomer yet ‘fairy tale’ is so commonly used it is unlikely to be replaced. An element of magic is often involved, although not guaranteed, particularly in many cinematic treatments, as we shall see. 2. Each show explores fairy tale features from a contemporary perspective. In Grimm a modern-day detective attempts to solve crimes based on tales from the brothers Grimm (initially) while additionally exploring his mythical ancestry. Once Upon a Time follows another detective (a female bounty hunter in this case) who takes up residence in Storybrooke, a town populated with fairy tale characters and ruled by an evil Queen called Regina. The heroine seeks to reclaim her son from Regina and break the curse that prevents resi- dents realising who they truly are. Sleepy Hollow pushes the detective prem- ise to an absurd limit in resurrecting Ichabod Crane and having him work alongside a modern-day detective investigating cult activity in the area. (Its creators, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, made a name for themselves with Hercules – which treats mythical figures with similar irreverence – and also worked on Lost, which the series references). Beauty and the Beast is based on another cult series (Ron Koslow’s 1980s CBS series of the same name) in which a male/female duo work together to solve crimes, combining procedural fea- tures with mythical elements.

    Archetypes Episode: Group 2 Notes Casey Garrigan, Alex Home, Bailey Robertson, Imani Al Khachi English 104 Ms. Courtney Floyd April 18th 2018 1. This story first appeared around the mid 17th century and was originally written down as the tale of Ninnillo and Nennella.The story has since been circulated around european countries changing names but keeping the story line consistent. 2. The folktale of Little Brother and Little Sister has been confused with Hansel and Gretel due to storytellers in the past calling the story of Hansel and Gretel by the name of Little Brother and Little Sister. Despite this, the Grimms chose to keep Hansel and Gretel by that name and keep Little Brother and Little Sister as that title. Even so, there are still some publications that use the name Little Brother and Little Sister for the Hansel and Gretel tale, causing confusion for the readers. 3. The authors of this folktale, Wilhelm and Jakob Grimm, were considered to be part of the romantic movement. 4. The Grimm Brothers viewed folklore as insight to the German culture and found that folklore had ancient mythologies and beliefs of past German cultures that should be integrated into new folktales. However, over time, the brothers wanted to reincorporate religious ideals in Germany, different dialects, and language of the original tales in their editions of their tales. 5. This folktale, as recited by the Grimms, was first published in 1812 as an original part of Children’s and Household tales, in which it was later featured in all editions with several new additions by 1819.

  • Change, Or Revolution (Cowley, 1996 : 52-57)
    Chapter 4 Analytical Approaches to the Selected Fairy Tales Critics and scholars of various fields have been attracted to fairy tales. Thus, approaches have been used for fairy tale analysis with different objectives. Some are interested in aesthetic points of literary matters. However, psychologists have paid attention to the meanings which can be interpreted as clues to the human mind while enhancing our understanding and appreciation of the tales like other literary works. At the same time, anthropologists and sociologists who consider fairy tales a rich source of earlier social behavior have shed valuable light on the interpretation. The above mentioned perspectives will, therefore, be eclectically used in the analysis of the selected tales, with a special focus on the sibling relationship. As the fairy tale is a narrative genre, the analysis will be based on the literary elements of fiction. However relevant key concepts used in the folklorists’ approaches to the tales such as functions or motifs will be applied to amplify the notable points, resulting in three main topics of the analysis of the tales: form, theme and motif, and characterization. Form of the Tales Two closely related words need to be clarified in the discussion of the form of the narrative: structure and plot. The structure is defined as a pattern of actions that is systematically shaped in a story; the structure is “the story at rest, while the plot is the story in motion” (DiYanni, 1990 : 28). Birkerts (1993 : 39) mentions two types of plot: the progressive and the episodic. The progressive form of the traditional plot consists of five sequences: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution.
