Understanding Folklore and Fiction Genres

The video explores the magical world of fiction, dividing it into three main genres: realistic fiction, fantasy, and folklore. Realistic fiction includes stories with characters and events that resemble real life, while historical fiction is a subset that involves past events. Fantasy fiction, on the other hand, features magical elements and mythical beings, with science fiction as a special type set in the future. Folklore, distinct from fantasy, imparts moral lessons and cultural traditions through stories like fairy tales. The video encourages exploring these genres in the library.
