dc.description.abstractThis dissertation investigates and analyses the significance of stylistic analysis in Rutooro folktales. Stylistic analysis plays a significant role in folktales, contributing to the overall narrative experience and enhancing reader engagement. This research report investigates the multifaceted nature of imagery in folktales, aiming to shed light on their impact, symbolism, and cultural significance. Employing a multidimensional analysis, we examine a diverse collection of folktales from different cultural contexts, exploring the visual elements within these stories and their relationships with the accompanying textual content. The research adopts a qualitative approach, combining literary analysis with cultural studies and visual semiotics. Our methodology involves a meticulous examination of selected folktales, paying particular attention to the visual imagery employed within the narrative. We analyze the role of illustrations, drawings, and other forms of visual representation, deciphering their contributions to character development, plot progression, and the transmission of cultural values. Additionally, the report explores the impact of images on reader engagement and interpretation of folktales. Through a combination of reader response theory and empirical research methods, we examined how different readers perceive and interact with the visual elements within folktales. We investigate the emotional and cognitive responses evoked by images, the influence on reader comprehension, and the potential for cross-cultural understanding through visual storytelling. Finally, the findings of this research provide valuable insights into the intricate relationship between stylistics and folktales. By unraveling the layers of meaning and cultural symbolism in visual representations, we contribute to a deeper understanding of the power of images in preserving and transmitting traditional narratives.en_US
