NOTE:

DIFFERENT TYPES OF FOLKLORE

People often use folklore to explain how the world was created, or how a lake or mountain came to be. We also keep track of our history and our culture’s special heroes through folklore.

Folklore can tell an endless story like “The House That Jack Built.” Folklore can be a tall tale like stories of Paul Bunyan or Mike Fink on the American Frontier. Many folklore tales have a hero, like Hercules, who uses wisdom or strength to overcome great challenges. Folklore can feature magical or supernatural creatures like fairies, dragons, and ghosts.

Folktales from West Africa and those of Native Americans might have a Trickster character, often an animal that is small and smart, but greedy, too. This character stirs up trouble and teaches lessons by tricking others.

Folk traditions are also passed down from parents to their children through the years. These traditions include folk dances, folk music, games, favorite recipes, rituals, and special festivals.

WHAT MAKES A STORY A FAIRY TALE?

Fairy tales generally take place in a far-off time and place. They typically begin, “Once upon a time.” In the land of fairy tales, magical happenings are everyday occurrences. Bad kings or queens, beautiful but ill-treated girls, and handsome princes are frequent characters in fairy tales. So are poor young men ready for adventure.

A fairy tale often tells the story of an individual. It takes into account the entire life of the hero or heroine, but focuses on a single event such as marriage. Fairy tales generally end happily. Goodness is rewarded, and evil is punished. The traditional closing line of a fairy tale is, “and they lived happily ever after.”

Certain basic plots occur again and again in fairy tales, with some variations. Both “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Frog Prince,” for example, tell the story of an animal that, through love, turns into a handsome prince. Many fairy tales are about unhappy people who eventually gain happiness, such as Snow White and Rapunzel.

Other popular stories, like “The Little Mermaid” and “Pinocchio,” deal with magical transformations of shape. “The Magic Carpet” and “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves” relate unusual adventures. Magical objects play key roles in “Jack and the Beanstalk” and “Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp.”
