The recurring plots
Tale types
Where a motif is a story’s atom, a tale type is a whole plot that recurs across tellings — the Aarne–Thompson–Uther classification. What is served here is the number, the name, and the motifs each type’s recorded variants carry — the full type descriptions are not; the motif links are the doors onward.
