The Evolution of Storytelling: From Traditional Literature to Contemporary Narratives

Abstract

Storytelling is an overall become an innate characteristic in humans. In any case, the way we communicate with others has changed over the time. This paper inquiries about how the impact of conventional ways of storytelling found in the literature have advanced on account of structures and techniques in present-day narratives. Through the analysis of how stories were told in terms of plot, characters and the universal templates, we seek to understand how these motifs have been modified in today’s world through various mediums. This also reveals that due to the use of advancing technologies such as printing press, social media, digital marketing and others platforms, the way we tell stories and keep ourselves informed about current topics has been a different experience.
