character is the representation of a person in a narrative or dramatic work of art (such as a novel, play, or film) and characterization is the method used by a writer to develop a character. The method includes showing the character`s appearance, displaying the character`s actions, revealing the character`s thoughts, letting the character speak, and getting the reactions of others. a storyteller introduce characters in a way that allows an audience the time to take in who the characters are and what issues they have to resolve, in other hand, characterization shows storyteller or author`s ability. One of the most populare literary genres that haven`t been paid attention, before 19 century, is folktales. A folktale is a type of traditional story that tries to explain or understand the world. Such stories were orally passed down through the generations and feature morals or lessons. The stories usually take place long ago in a faraway place and are woven around talking animals, royalty, peasants, or mythical creatures. Formalists studied literature, speciale oral, in a new method. One of the most famous formalists was Vladimir Propp His Morphology of the Folk Tale was published in Russian in 1928. Although it represented a breakthrough in both folkloristic and morphology and influenced Claude Levi-Strauss and Roland Barthes, it was generally unnoticed in the West until it was translated in the 1950s. His character types are used in media education and can be applied to almost any story be it in literature, theatre, film, television series and games. Vladimir Propp extended the Russian Formalist approach to the study of narrative structure. In the Formalist approach, sentence structures were broken down into analyzable elements, or morphemes, and Propp used this method by analogy to analyze Russian fairy tales. By breaking down a large number of Russian folk tales into their smallest narrative units, Propp was able to arrive at a typology of narrative structures. He defined 31 functions analyzing 100 Russian tales. He also concluded that all the characters could be resolved into 8 broad characters in the 100 tales he analyzed: The villain The donor The (magical) helper The princess and her father The dispatcher The hero or victim/seeker hero False hero In this article, I am going to analyze the characters of 8 Korean folktales in every kind of animals, humans and magical elements those are based on Prop`s method. First I will discuss about character, characterization, types of character, ways of character can be relieved as the Propp`s method. Second I will submit the summary of each story. And finally I will analyze, compare and conclusion.
