Series of Karelian fairy tales have been documented and analyzed, revealing their intricate structural, compositional, and plot elements. This study delves into connections embedded within these fairy tale narratives. Employing a typological approach, the article scrutinizes representative protagonists, examining the etymologies of their names, the descriptions of their characters, and the motivations behind their actions. This analysis is conducted primarily within the context of the Russian fairy tale tradition. Through a thorough examination of the Karelian fairy tale repertoire, the study identifies stories featuring unjustly persecuted girls and women, as well as fairy tales with unique protagonists such as the “younger brother Tukhkimus” and the “saboteur” Syöjätär and her variants. These tales exhibit distinctive characteristics when compared to the Russian fairy tale tradition. The analysis is grounded in V.Ya. Propp’s structural-semiotic approach, particularly his seven-person scheme of the fairy tale plot. The study effectively demonstrates how ethno-cultural and geographical factors of the region influence the specificities of these narratives.
Keywords: V.Ya. Propp, Karelian fairy tale, Karelian folklore, Tuhkimus, Syöjätär
