Motivation for Telling a Story

In The Storyteller the aunt's motivation to tell the story of a good girl kidnapped by a bull and saved by her friends is to shut the kids up and maybe teach them some moral lesson. The bachelor's motivation to tell the story of Bertha is to prove the aunt's idea that kids cannot appreciate good stories wrong and to tell a totally opposite story of the aunt's to the children. He told the story also because he doesn't like the aunt and wants to make teaching hard for her by telling a story that expresses the idea that good is not always rewarded and is sometimes dangerous. The bachelor and aunt's story both has a moral and r both directed to the kids to teach them something but it is the total opposite of each other. Also, the bachelor's story is way better with more details and answered the children's question with creativity and swiftness unlike all of the qualities of the aunt's story. The aunt just wants to tell a story fast and get it over with so the children will be quiet and maybe learn something. The bachelor was telling the story mainly to oppose the aunt and the aunt is telling the story mainly to shut the kids up so they told for a different purpose and made the kids kind of confused about whether or not good is always the best way to behave, which is what the bachelor intended to do.
