As explained in the 'conventions of fairy tales' section, a fairy story always includes a number of important elements.
In Rumpelstiltskin, these include:
GOOD CHARACTER
In the Rumpelstiltskin story a good character is the miller's daughter.
THE BADDY
Rumpelstiltskin is definitely the baddy in this story!
MAGIC
One of the main features of this story is the straw magically being spun into gold.
OBSTACLE OR TASK
A fairy tale usually includes an obstacle or task which the characters must tackle with to reach their happy ending. Can you think of the obstacles and tasks which feature in the Rumpelstiltskin story?
HAPPILY EVER AFTER
The queen guesses Rumpelstiltskin's name so she can keep her baby and live happily ever after...
