Characters

In this story of Rumpelstiltskin, there are five characters, Lisa, Rumpelstiltskin ,The King, Lisa’s Father and Lisa’s Mother.

Lisa is a young little girl. She lives with her parents in a cottage. She loves to do household chores such as baking. She is very obedient as she listens to her parents. She feels hopeless when the King ordered her to spin straw into gold. Besides, Rumpelstiltskin is a strange little man. He has magical powers. He can be able to help Lisa by spinning straw into gold. He likes riddles. Rumpelstiltskin is a fairy tale character, not a real person. We can say that he is manipulative as he takes advantage of the miller’s daughter difficulties to get to keep her first-born child. However, he is sympatric when he gives the Queen/ miller’s daughter another chance to keep her baby by giving her riddles to solve.


The King is an opportunist. He uses Lisa to get him gold. He portrays an inhuman behavior as he locks the miller’s daughter up who was innocent in a room filled with straw. He is rather cruel  as he threatens to kill her if she cannot spin the straw into gold. Next is Lisa’s father. He is rather foolish as he goes to far to boast about his daughter. He is also greedy as he is willing to sacrifice Lisa’s life in order to get wealth. He was remorseful when he promised Lisa that we will not make the same mistake. Nevertheless, he is a loving father as he tries to solve the riddle for Lisa. Lisa’s mother comes last. She is very proud of her daughter. She is kind hearted as she invites the Ling into her house and offers food. She is rather silly as she agrees with her husband that Lisa can spin straw into gold. She is also remorseful and promised never to boast again. It cannot be denied that she is a loving mother as she helps Lisa to solve the riddle.
