Tricksters: Tiger, Brahman and Jackal

By: Joseph Jacobs

  • Story opens by starting with the problem
  • introduces two characters at very beginning
  • one character is immediately fooled
  • introduces analogies to the scenario from other characters 
  • outside character joins and meets other two characters
  • jackal begins his plot to trick the tiger
  • other characters do not realize what is occurring... yet
  • the jackal and the tiger go back and forth 
  • the jackal uses his ways to trick the tiger into getting back into the cage
  • the story uses all dialogue to portray the story
  • only three characters
  • feelings of being scared, frightened and confused all happened in the story
  • story ends on happy not
  • no one is betrayed and it ends how it started
  • the outside character is the character who performs the trickery
