Proppian Fairy Tale Generator v1.0

I forget sometimes what people tell me to do or not do. What they tell me slips away into the backwaters of my memory where it drowns in all other memories forgotten. When I turned around seeking an open pathway, I was surprised to find that the stream surrounded me on all sides. The... more

The Proppian Fairy Tale Generator explores both the possibilities and pitfalls of strict Proppian analysis through its implementation. Propp asserts that any combination of his functions will create a viable story. By implementing the generator to do just that, we challenge Propp's assertion. The generator works by randomly choosing a possible interpretation of a function and stringing them together to create a story. The result is usually an oddly coherent narrative, flitting in and out of focus, but with large parts of it obfuscated and obscured. It is in these holes, this slippage that Proppian analysis fails.
