at the end. My pastiche will also be a fairy tale. It's going to be almost a replica of it. However, I'll switch up a couple of things. Not all the antogonists gets to be punished at the end. The step-sister will eventually learn from her mistake. So this part could be like a noodlehead folktale, it just won't be with the main character.Classifying folktales are important because it can deal with different messages that want to be sent out. For example, if it is a Pourquoi Folktale then it'll be a story about how a certain thing came to be. Another example would be like in a Trickster Folktale, these stories send out the message that even if you're small you can make a difference. My version of the pastiche will be like a fairy tale, this message is very similiar to other fairy tales like Cinderella, to follow your heart.
Do you think your story is a combination of two of these? It is possible to have a Pourquoi Trickster Folktale. Anything is possible with creativity.
ReplyDeleteI like that all the bad characters do not get punished. It teaches people that you can learn from your mistakes. But also children can get the wrong picture. They might think that if I only do one bad thing it won't hurt me and I might get a break and not get in any trouble.
