folklore narrative

Folklore narrative refers to stories passed down orally within communities, often reflecting their beliefs, values, and cultural identity. These narratives include myths, legends, fairy tales, and fables, and serve to entertain, educate, and preserve cultural traditions. They often feature symbolic characters and themes that embody moral lessons or explanations of natural phenomena. Unlike written literature, folklore narratives evolve over time as they are shared across generations, helping to maintain a community’s shared history and worldview in a rhythmic, memorable way.
