What are the literary elements of a folktale

Folktales are part of a literary genre that has existed all over the world for centuries. Folktales are stories that have been passed down orally from generation to generation. Moreover, this type of stories deal with topics that are relevant to all humans, and thus discuss universal themes. However, the content of folktales varies significantly from one culture or group to another.

The setting of folktales tends to be in a vague and far past, most likely a time that listeners did not live through. This can also contain supernatural elements. In terms of characters, the characters of folk tales tend to be flat and static. Moreover, they tend to be quite stereotypical. In terms of plot, folktales tend to be formulaic and relatively simple. They often have predictable outcomes as well. Finally, when it comes to conflict, the conflict of folktales tends to reflect basic human question and universal themes.
