This chapter discusses different types of narrative texts including fairy tales, legends, and folktales. Fairy tales typically feature one-dimensional characters and settings like peasants and castles. Legends are stories about real or imaginary events in the distant past that have been shaped over time through retellings. Folktales are stories passed down through oral tradition that can include elements like myths, jokes, and magical transformations. The generic structure of narrative texts generally involves an orientation, complication, resolution, and re-orientation that conveys a moral lesson.
