Folktale Adaptation
Folktale Adaptation is a narrative transformation process within the broader category of folkloric reinterpretation, distinguished by its selective reworking of traditional folktale elements—such as plot, characters, or themes—through the incorporation of new cultural, historical, or artistic contexts while maintaining recognizable traces of the original oral source.
