Narrative Function Analysis

Narrative Function Analysis is a methodological framework within comparative folktale analysis that identifies and categorizes the essential narrative units—recurring plot elements defined by their role in advancing the story—distinguishing it from other analytical approaches by focusing on the functional significance of character actions and events rather than their thematic or stylistic features.
