Moral Values

 We must be more careful of what we say, and think of the consequences.

Lisa’s father lied to the king, just to impress him. Lisa lost her head and promised something without realising the implications of her promise,

just to save herself. Rumpelstiltskin is so confident that the queen will not guess his name that he makes the

terrible mistake of saying it out loud.

Honesty and Integrity

We must always keep our promises. It is when we are able to keep our promises that people

will respect us. Although the King was greedy, he kept his promise to marry Lisa once she

was able to spin the straw into gold.  Even the strange little man kept his promise to Lisa

when she was able to guess his name. He did not try to cheat her.

Point of view

Since this is a drama, the author uses the third person point of view. He is omniscient- this

means that he knows everything in the story.  However, the characters do think aloud when

they are thinking. Thus, the readers are able to understand what the characters are doing.

 Language and Style

 The style of writing is very simple, uncomplicated and straightforward. The language is

simple reflecting the lifestyle of the village people. 

Literary Devices

Repetition Spin straw into gold   These words are repeated constantly

throughout the story.

The writer wants to highlight the idea of spinning straw into gold

Cut off your head These words are also used with “spin straw into gold’. The King reminds Lisa that if she cannot spin straw into gold,

he will cut off her head.Rhyme Page 81-

the rhyme scheme

 is aa,bb

Sit and cuddle your darling son, For tomorrow you’ll have none.

Riddles and tricks are my game.

You won’t ever guess my name.

  Page 83- the rhyme scheme

is also aa,bb

Wife and family I have none. But tomorrow I’ll have the King’s own

son.

Tricks and riddles are my game,

Rumpelstiltskin is my name.

 Tone and Mood

There are two contrasting tones. Firstly, there is an ordinary tone when the writer shows the

ordinary lifestyle of Lisa’s family. The second tone is the extraordinary tone. It is used when

describing the events related to the King.  It shows things that are magical. It shows the

readers that straw can be spun into gold. It shows a mood of fantasy. The drama ends with a

positive note that is all’s well that ends well.

Synopsis

The King was making his rounds around his kingdom. The King visits Lisa’s cottage. Lisa’s parents began to praise Lisa and claim

that she can bake the best pies in the world. In order to make himself appear more important, Lisa’s father lies to the king that

his daughter could spin straw into gold. The King knows that his kingdom is poor, thus, the king called for the girl, shut her in a

tower room with straw and a spinning wheel, and demanded that she spin the straw into gold by morning or be executed. She had

given up all hope, when a strange little man appeared in the room and spun straw into gold for her in return for her necklace;

then again the following night for her ring. But on the third night, with nothing left, the strange creature spun straw into gold for

a promise that the girl’s first-born child would become his.

The greedy king was so impressed that he married Lisa, but when their first child was born, the strange little man returned to

claim his payment. The queen was frightened and offered him all the wealth she had if she could keep the child. The strange little

man refused but finally agreed to give up his claim to the child if the queen could guess his name in three days. At first she failed.

Later, Lisa’s parents follow the little man and see him dance around a small fire and they hear him say out loud, “Tricks and

riddles are my game, Rumpelstiltskin is my name.”
