| A Fairy (Arthur Rackham) |
- Prayer & Poetry
- Read "Hansel and Gretel" and try to find and write down as many faerie tale motifs (recurring objects, concept, character type, or structure in a work) as you can.
- Here are some of the ones we discovered today in class that commonly appear in many faerie tales:
- forest
- poor family
- evil stepmother
- weak father
- threshold (the line that separates the known and unknown worlds)
- enchantment (magic . . . the gingerbread cottage)
- special numbers (3 or 7)
- can you find some others???
HW:
- (2-3) Read "Snow White" and find as many motifs as you can, writing down specific instances.
