Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Fairy tale construct has a constant plot involving a damsel in distress , under a spell or curse , rescued by the handsome prince charming , who does so by overcoming an evil force (triumph of good over evil) resulting in their “happily ever after”. The support characters are usually the hapless but well-meaning father/parents, helpful and miraculous supporter - a helper who aids the hero/protagonist – usually a non-human character (eg. Fairy godmother , dwarves , horses/animals).
  2. Syntagmatic axis : Is the set of signs that must be present in totality for the story to be a romantic fairy taleParadigmatic axis : Evil in Shrek: symbolises a human ulterior motive or personal gainEvil in sleeping Beauty: more a revenge than a gain
  3. The signifieds which have been identified for the analysis are the stereotypical characteristics observed in fairytales which change in ShrekThe signifiers are the rolesThe signifiers are compared and contrasted , through replacement in Shrek’s story line. Paradigmatic relationships
  4. Positive & negative connotations of the signifiers
  5. Feminine characteristics vs unfeminine characteristics
  6. The significance of the story emerges because these signifieds are used and not the other available. If anyone of the signifieds was not the same, the story would not have been the same.
