Abstract

This abstract provides an overview of a critical analysis that applies Vladimir Propp's narrative theory to dissect and interpret the classic fairy tale "Snow White." Vladimir Propp's model, designed for the analysis of folktales, identifies recurrent narrative functions performed by characters, offering a structural framework to unveil underlying patterns and archetypal elements. In this study, "Snow White" is subjected to a meticulous examination through Propp's Model, unraveling the tale's fundamental narrative components. The analysis encompasses the identification and scrutiny of characters such as the villainous queen, the dwarfs, and Snow White herself, each fulfilling specific functions within Propp's framework. Beyond structural analysis, the study explores how Propp's Model illuminates universal motifs and narrative functions, contributing to a deeper understanding of the fairy tale are enduring resonance. The abstract emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of this critical analysis, drawing connections between folklore studies and critical analysis of "Snow White."
