- 2.The donor prepares the hero or gives the hero
some magical object - 3.The (magical) helperhelps the hero in the
quest - 4.The princess and her fathergives the task to
the hero, identifies the false hero, marries the
hero, often sought for during the narrative.
Propp noted that functionally, the princess and
the father can not be clearly distinguished - 5.The dispatchercharacter who makes the lack
known and sends the hero off. - 6.The hero or victim/seeker heroreacts to the
donor, weds the princess - 7. False hero takes credit for the heros
actions or tries to marry the princess. - These roles could sometimes be distributed among
various characters, as the hero kills the villain
dragon, and the dragon's sisters take on the
villainous role of chasing him. Conversely, one
character could engage in acts as more than one
role, as a father could send his son on the quest
and give him a sword, acting as both dispatcher
and donor.
