Town Musicians of Bremen

The "Town Musicians of Bremen" folktale recorded by the Brothers Grimm is set in a rural area in Prussia, taking into account that its writers were generally concerned about stories involving elements that were familiar to them. The setting is meant to emphasize the simplistic and yet powerful nature of the story, taking into account that it is apparently meant to put across a succinct message. In addition to the geographical setting of the story, the tale is set in an area containing several farms that put across the idea of a home. Readers are likely to sympathize with the central characters as they realize the importance that a home can have on an individual.

The animals are on their way to Bremen as the story appears to want readers to understand that one's happiness is more likely to be in developed areas rather than in rural parts of the world.

2. The story is told from a third-person point-of-view and the narrator is responsible for telling most of the story and presenting the characters along with their background. This makes it possible for readers to understand that the narrator is not involved in the story and that his only purpose is to convey events that occur throughout the folktale.

3. The main conflict in the story involves the animals being severely affected by their age and their masters being unwilling to support them anymore. One can even say that the conflict involves a divergence between generations, considering that the fact that the animals are old and thus useless (with the exception of the rooster) for their masters influences these people to express little to no interest in keeping them alive. They simply want to get rid of them as fast as possible in order to avoid having to invest any resources in them.

4. The action rises in the plot as each of the animals regains its self-confidence and realizes that it is essential for it to get actively involved in restructuring its life. Readers are practically drawn into the story as this happens and they are influenced to sympathize with the animals and to feel that their accounts are inspiring. It is certainly intriguing to observe how animals that apparently have to hope to succeed direct their attention toward being successful and toward simply accepting the fact that anything is better than giving up, even if this means that they get involved in a mission that is very unlikely to succeed.

The tale builds up tension as it progresses and it presents each animal as developing assurance as it is provided with the opportunity to see things from a more general point-of-view. The progress that each animal experiences from feeling that it is lost and until the moment when it starts to think about recovering from the critical condition it is in is remarkable and it largely the event that influences most readers to read on in hope that they are going to come across episodes that reveal the power of determination.

5. The Climax takes place at the time when one of the robbers returns to the abandoned house in order to see if his band can proceed with looting it. Instead of finding an empty hose, however, he comes across the four animals and thinks that he encountered an evil witch who is determined to kill him. He informs the other robbers and they all run away from the house in order to save their lives. The fact that the thieves come to associate the four animals with a witch demonstrates that one should not be judged with regard to his or her physical appearance. As long as people have a limited understanding of an individual, they can associate it with a series of personalities ranging from a harmless creature to their worst nightmare.

6. The donkey is motivated by the fact that he is no longer considered important by his master. He realizes that it would be pointless for him to try and stay at the farm, as this would most likely end in him dying without having achieved anything in its life. To a certain degree, one can be inclined to believe that the donkey sees an opportunity and takes advantage of it, as it does not simply run away because he fears death. This is an animal that is concerned about achieving something and that is not going to accept the imminent idea of death before he learns more about life.

The dog is concerned about earning his living, as he cannot return to his master because he would kill him and as it cannot simply stay and hope that it is going to find food without going through great efforts in order to do so. It too is disappointed with its master on account of the attitude that he employed.

The cat fears that it is going to be drowned if it does not leave her master and thus decides that anything can be better than death. The prospect of leaving to Bremen with controversial companions does not seem that bad when compared to the idea of death. "The cat thought it a capital idea, and went with them." (Mulock Craik 146) The fact that the cat is unhesitant about joining this group makes it possible for readers to understand that it did not actually have a lot of options. It basically needed to choose between being drowned by its master or about dreaming about a magical life alongside of individuals that had experienced similar suffering and that were determined to push the limits of reality in an attempt to demonstrate that they could be much more valuable than one might have been inclined to believe.
