The purpose of this study is to determine if an ecotype of the ATU 301 tale type exists which is specific to Lower-Brittany. A combination of both morphological and element focused approaches will be used to attempt to distinguish generalized yet distinctive characteristics in variants of the 301 tale type. Are these characteristics, if any, maintained in both the Breton language and French language variants? How do the variants of Lower Brittany compare to the other variants; those of their nearest neighbors and those of an initial selection used to study the morphology of the 301 taletype in general? Eleven variants will be examined by structure using Vladimir Propp’s morphology of functions, and be grouped based on their morphology. The Breton selection will then be compared to French language variants collected in the region presented in the Delarue-Teneze catalogue. These variants will be re-analyzed by element, and new analyses of the Breton variants from the first selection will be added. Three characteristics become apparent which distinguish these variants from others: a raider-hero, more vivid descriptions of assault, and the form of the villain. The hero is a character of immense strength who takes what he wishes. The Breton variants in particular display a tendency towards more elaborate descriptions of violence. Direct assault is present in all variants. The villain often takes one of three forms: an old woman, an old woman and her sons, or a giant. Further research into the motifs present in these variants would be useful as many of the variants do not follow the dominant pattern of the 301 type. Three previously unanalyzed Breton language variants of the 301B type may now be introduced to an anglophone audience and added to the catalogue.
