520 $a This dissertation is a comparative study on folk narratives. Six folk narratives are selected from the West and China. This investigation intends to conduct an in-depth comparison and contrast of the six folk narratives from Western and Chinese literature. The focus of the study is to divulge the deeper relationships between these stories. An underlying goal of the research is to provide general insights into literary forms from an intercultural perspective.
520 $a The theoretical underpinnings are mainly the works The Hero with a Thousand Faces and The Power of Myth (1968, 2001) by Joseph Campbell, the work of Carl Jung The Archetypes and Collective Unconscious (1980), the work of Vladimir Propp Morphology of the Folktale (1968) and its expanded and revised investigation Literary Structures, Character Development, and Dramaturgical Scenarios in Framing the Category Novel (2004) by Robert N. St. Clair.
520 $a This investigation is going to utilize these theories as instruments to analyze the themes, plot structures, and archetypes for a profound understanding of the folk narratives across these disparate cultures. The six folk narratives under study seem to have little in common on the surface, but they share many common properties. In other words, even though these stories come from very different cultural backgrounds, they possess some intriguing commonalities in plot structures ect.
520 $a Demonstrating that a myth or story has a similar expression in another culture is one aspect of the research, the more valued question is how they differ and why they differ. This investigation is not only to reveal the commonalities; the differences of the folk narratives are also to be explored deeply and discussed from social and cultural aspects.
520 $a This dissertation consists of six chapters. The first chapter sets the stage for the dissertation. The remaining four chapters address the issue concerned in this dissertation from different perspectives. The last chapter is a summary and conclusion of the research.
