There are many different forms of literature out in the world. They come in forms of novels, short stories, articles, and poems. They help people by allowing them to be informed about certain topics and they even make people forget about their daily lives while they enter a totally different world.

As Matthew Gregory Lewis indicates, however, the ballad also differs from fairy tales in some respects, in spite of sharing a set of motifs with them. The fact that Sir Gawain has to transform a woman back contradicts the composition of the classical fairytale; even though the motif of enchantment is technically given here, it works in a slightly different manner than usual: in the well-known fairy tales the audience typically comes across transformed princes rather than princesses (cf.
