Motivation for Telling a Story

In the story" Storyteller" diffrent characters have diffrent motivations. The bachelor and the aunt's motivations both include similarities and diffrences. the bachelor and the aunt both wanted the kids to be quiet and stop talking. The bachelor's way of making the kids to be quiet is quite diffrent from the aunt. The aunt wanted to tell a story that can teach a lesson while the bachelor want to tell an interestign story. The two person's feelings during the story telling progress were both diffrent as well. The bachelor was actually quite enjoying the process of the telling as the kids are quiet and appreciate the story in the end. The aunt was annoyed by the kids, the boring story that consists of the same things all the time and the lack of details couldn't fill the children's imagination up. The lessons that each story also differs. In the aunt's story, a stupid and over repeating lesson is taught again and again and it kills the children's interests. In the bachelor's story, it sounded like a lesson wasn't implied however one important is in it. I would view the story as an satire on modern parent's however it also talked about civil obediance. Being good isn't ususlly appreciated and you have disobey to be successful sometimes.
