FAIRY TALES
STRUCTURE
THE BARE-BONES
STRUCTURE OF A FAIRY TALE
Fairytales have episodic structure, meaning that events are spread
out over different periods of time and a number of locales.
Episodic structure can take many forms, but most fairytales have what
is called a “Hero” formula.
THE BARE-BONES
STRUCTURE OF A FAIRY TALE
1. Hero leaves home.
2. Hero told NOT to do
something or go to a certain
place. Hero goes there
anyway and meets the villain.
3. Villain deceives the hero.
4. Hero is tested, helped or
attacked.
5. Hero reaches prize/treasure
he or she is seeking.
6. Combat between hero and
villain.
7. Villain defeated.
8. Hero heads for home.

HEROINE ARCHETYPES
HEROINES IN FAIRY TALES
We always talk about heroes, but what
about HEROINES?
THE HEROINE ARCHETYPE
The Crusader Heroine
A thoroughly modern heroine is the
Crusader. No distressed damsel here. This
lady is on a mission, and she marches right
over anyone in her way. She’s tenacious and
headstrong. Don't try to calm her down,
and don't try to force her to take time off
from her mission. If you aren't part of the
solution, you are part of the problem, and
that makes you fair game.
THE HEROINE ARCHETYPE
The Survivor Heroine
The Survivor is a lady who is long
accustomed to sizing up everyone in a room
the minute she enters. Mysterious and
manipulative, she hides a streak of distrust
a mile wide and ten miles deep. Cynicism
guides her every action, and her tough
sense of survival gives her the means to do
whatever is necessary to come out ahead.
THE HEROINE ARCHETYPE
The Spunky Kid Heroine
She is a favorite of many writers, and for
good reason. You can't help but root for
her. She's the girl with moxie. She's not
looking to be at the top of the heap; she just
wants to be in her own little niche.
Supportive and reliable, she doesn’t have an
enemy in the world, but has plenty of
friends.
THE HEROINE ARCHETYPE
The Free Spirit Heroine
Playful and fun loving, this heroine travels
through life with a hop, skip and a jump,
always stopping to smell the flowers and
admire the pretty colors. She acts on a
whim and follows her heart, not her head.
THE HEROINE ARCHETYPE
The Damsel in Distress (and yet, a Heroine)
This is the original damsel in distress. She
was the star of many a Grimm's fairy tales.
She is one of the bravest heroines, but still
requires rescue. Her child-like innocence
evokes a protective urge in the beastliest of
heroes.
THE HEROINE ARCHETYPE
The Librarian Heroine
She's prim and proper, but underneath that
bun lurks a passionate woman. She's
learned or was told that her physical
charms shouldn't - or couldn't - help her get
ahead, so she leads with her brain, not her
body. She might be the know-it-all whose
hand is always up in class, or maybe she is
the shy mouse. She tends to think she has
all the answers and can be a bit stubborn
about considering other opinions.
THE HEROINE ARCHETYPE
The Nurturer Heroine
This lady takes care of everyone. She is a
wonderful listener, and a joy to have
around. She's serene, capable and
optimistic. She might be the laid-back
mother that always has fresh cookies in the
oven.
VILLAIN ARCHETYPES
EXAMPLES OF VILLAIN ARCHETYPES
An archetypal villain is the manifestation of a
particular "kind" of villain. These characters display
stereotypical personalities, and are present in all
fairytales.
