Vladimir Propp

Vladimir Propp identified 8 key characters in these stories.

And they are:

  • Hero
  • Villain
  • Donor (Provider)
  • Helper (Assistance)
  • Father
  • Dispatcher
  • Princess
  • False Hero 
Propp argued that characters could fulfill more than one of these rolls and that there can be more than one of each character type.
