In literature, exposition conveys information that advances the plot of a story and provides insight into characters. The Emperor’s New Clothes: The “tailors” are charlatans.Chicken Little: It was an acorn that fell on the title character’s head.The Sleeping Beauty: The sleeping spell can only be broken by a true love’s kiss.Little Red Riding Hood: The title character is warned not to speak to strangers.Jack and the Beanstalk: Jack and his mother are very poor and have just one cow to sell for money.The Tortoise and the Hare: The hare is overconfident about winning the race.The Princess and the Pea: The “pea” is a test to determine the authenticity of a princess.Cinderella: Cinderella is good and kind, unlike her stepsisters.Goldilocks and the Three Bears: Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear leave their home in the woods unlocked.
Snow White: The queen is obsessed with being beautiful and consumed with jealousy over Snow White’s greater beauty.Here are some common examples of exposition in well-known tales: Without such expository information, the storylines would be inaccessible in terms of understanding. Folk and fairy tales, in particular, require exposition so that their unusual characters make sense and the fantastical plots have meaning. All narratives require exposition so that the reader has enough information and context in order to understand the story.
