Part l: Lecher states that several factors account for the difficulty the Grimm’s and other nineteenth century folklorists encountered in collecting and retelling folktales in the authentic voice of the folk. Three of these are as follows: 1. The purpose of the collectors and retellers, 2. The judgments of the collectors and retellers as to what constitutes a good story, 3. The value the retellers place on translating the stories from what is effective in the oral format into what is effective in

mortal friend, the fairy queen stole the child from its nurse, and brought him up in the woods. This story differs from the English folklore tradition of changelings, which is most often bleak, dark, and horrific. It is evident that the well-known folkloristic motif of fairies' passion for stealing human children from their cradles is extremely softened by Shakespeare. Even the changeling in the fairy kingdom of A Midsummer Night's Dream has not been obtained by violence and human misery. Changes in

Dreaming with Lolita What world are you living in? Over the past hundreds of years psychologists have been studying the functions of the human mind. It is a task that seems to prolong as information and new methods arrive. What makes us dream or imagine things?

Originally projected for the traditional village settings of juju, village-oriented comedy and folkloristic renditions, these ambulant theatres have developed into a remarkable structure of a regional film tradition dominating all of West Africa (Haynes & Okome 2001,

Jane rekindles her fire through the over-passionate Rochester but it burns excessively. At Thornfield Hall, Jane’s first introduction of the master of the house is from the housekeeper, she describes him vaguely as both a gentleman and a peculiar, restless spirit: “...he has a gentleman’s tastes and habits, and he expects to have things managed in conformity to them.. He is rather peculiar perhaps: he has travelled a great deal, and sen a great deal of the world, I should think (106-107).” This

As folklore has become an increasingly more studied field, the importance of proper classification of folkloristic material has also grown in importance. Axel Olrik contributed to this goal by articulating numerous “laws” of what he considered the “Sage”, or works of myth, folktale, legend or folk song that could be used to identify folklore from other written works. Three of these such laws are The Law of Repetition, The Law of Two to a Scene, and The Law of Opening, which we will examine through
