Answer 1

• "Hansel and Gretel " has the "overcoming the monster" plot archetype. This tale clearly shows in its ending that the witch represented a monster who at the end was defeated by the siblings' wit.  

• "The importance of Being Earnest" has a Comedy plot archetype. This play written by Oscar Wilde talks about the customs and seriousness of the society at that time. And tries to mock of what was going in England during the Victorian era.  
• "Romeo and Juliet" has a tragedy plot archetype due to the fatal ending that the writer gave to the main characters.
• "Cinderella" this fairy tale has a rags to riches plot archetype because the main purpose of it is to show how a misfortune girl receives favors from her fairy godmother, which helps her to meet the prince of the kingdom and as a result, they fall in love and she becomes the queen of the kingdom overnight.
