Question

1. different literary forms tend to rely on different elements to express theme. how might a fairy tale express theme differently than a poem?

the fairy tale would use character development as the main means of showing theme, and the poem would rely on the setting.
the fairy tale would rely more on plot events to express theme while the poem would emphasize key images or repeat key words or phrases.
the fairy tale would use mostly setting details to express theme, and the poem would focus more on character development.
the fairy tale would emphasize the significance of language, and the poem would rely more on plot development.

Explanation:

Fairy tales are narrative works that center on sequential plot events (like quests, conflicts, and resolutions) to convey their underlying themes. Poems, by contrast, typically use condensed, vivid imagery, and often employ literary devices such as repetition of words/phrases to communicate themes in a more lyrical, concentrated way. The other options misalign with the core characteristics of each form: poems do not rely on setting or character development as their primary thematic tool, and fairy tales do not center language over plot, nor do poems focus on plot development.

Answer:

The fairy tale would rely more on plot events to express theme while the poem would emphasize key images or repeat key words or phrases.
