  • Archetypes Episode: Group 2 Notes Casey Garrigan, Alex Home, Bailey
    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.

    DECONSTRUCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF PUSS IN BOOTS AND HUMPTY DUMPTY CHARACTERS IN ANIMATED FILM PUSS IN BOOTS A Thesis Submitted to Letters and Humanities Faculty In partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Strata One By: ADE DWI SEPTIAN 1111026000077 ENGLISH LETTERS DEPARTMENT LETTERS AND HUMANITIES FACULTY STATE ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY SYARIF HIDAYATULLAH JAKARTA 2016 ABSTRACT Ade Dwi Septian, NIM. 1111026000077, Deconstruction and Reconstruction of Puss In Boots and Humpty Dumpty Characters in Animated Film Puss In Boots. Thesis: English Letters Department, Letters and Humanities Faculty, State Islamic University of Syarif Hidayatullah, Jakarta, 2015. This thesis analyzes the animated film entitled Puss In Boots. The film is directed by Chris Miller was released in 2011. The problem in this film is located in the main characters, Puss In Boots and Humpty Alexandre Dumpty. The film is considered deconstructs the characteristics of the two main characters. In this case, Puss In Boots, fairy tale by Charles Perrault and Humpty Dumpty character in the novel Through The Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll are the benchmark. This research uses the deconstruction theory by Jacques Derrida. The method that is used in this research is descriptive qualitative. Puss In Boots is animated film that tells the story of the greatness of two buddies, Puss In Boots and Humpty Alexandre Dumpty, that become hero in a town called San Ricardo. However, the presence of Puss and Humpty as main characters in the film is contrary to the characteristics of Puss and Humpty in the fairy tale earlier. Generally, Puss and Humpty in this film shows a form of deconstruction related to the characteristics of Puss and Humpty in the fairy tale.

  • 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.

  • The Black and the White Bride: Dualism, Gender, and Bodies in European Fairy Tales
    Jeana Jorgensen: The Black and the White Bride: Dualism, Gender, and Bodies in European Fairy Tales The Black and the White Bride: Dualism, Gender, and Bodies in European Fairy Tales Jeana Jorgensen Butler University* Fairy tales are one of the most important folklore genres in Western culture, spanning literary and oral cultures, folk and elite cultures, and print and mass media forms. As Jack Zipes observes: ‘The cultural evolution of the fairy tale is closely bound historically to all kinds of storytelling and different civilizing processes that have undergirded the formation of nation-states.’143 Studying fairy tales thus opens a window onto European history and cultures, ideologies, and aesthetics. My goal here is to examine how fairy-tale characters embody dualistic traits, in regard both to gender roles and to other dualisms, such as the divide between the mind and body, and the body’s interior and exterior (as characterized by the skin). These and other dualisms have been theorized from many quarters. As Elizabeth Grosz states: ‘Feminists and philosophers seem to share a common view of the human subject as a being made up of two dichotomously opposed characteristics: mind and body, thought and extension, reason and passion, psychology and biology.’144 Further, ‘Dichotomous thinking necessarily hierarchizes and ranks the two polarized terms so that one becomes the privileged term and the other its suppressed, subordinated, negative counterpart.’145 Thus, any discussion of dualisms is automatically also a discussion of power relations. This article begins by summarizing the trajectory of dualism in Western intellectual history and culture, including how dualism fits within folkloristic and feminist scholarship.

  • The Frog Prince Retellings
    THIS LIST WILL BE PERIODICALLY UPDATED, as authors come out with new tales and/or as I discover others. Most of the links lead to the Kindle versions of the books. Ratings: These are reading GUIDELINES. Reading ages and abilities vary widely, so please keep in mind that I don’t even pretend to know what you or your kids/siblings/whoever can handle. These ratings are determined based on general reading levels and general content tolerance levels. The rating means a book has one or more of that kind of content, not necessarily all of them. Not every book rated PG-13 is going to have swearing, for example. Sometimes it’s rated that for violence. PG-13 does not necessarily mean ‘clean’. That’s why I’ve added clean to the series that qualify. G: as safe as a kids’ book or family documentary PG: mild violence, mild clean/sweet romance handled lightly, and/or exciting adventures that aren’t too tense. PG-13: some violence, mild physicality and sexuality, and/or mild swearing. PG-16: high levels of violence, psychologically medium-dark scenes, and/or mid-level sexual content, adult concepts, and/or medium-level swear words and frequency. Mature: intense violence, high level sexual content, intense ‘dark’ content, psychologically dark scenes or concepts, and/or lots of swearing. Clean: little to no mild swearing, violence that isn’t graphic, kissing and sexual content handled the same way you’d find in a Hallmark movie.
