In the short story “The Sleeping Beauty In The Forest” By Berlie Doherty the mode of literature is easy to pick out. All of the symbolism was there. The mode of literature was obviously romance.
Following the romance mode of literature this short story there was a small conflict. The conflict was that that the Fairy of Shadows set a curse on the princess and she had to sleep for 100 years. So the story also had to end in life symbolism. At the end the prince saved the princess by a kiss then asked the princesses hand in marriage.
Also it might have been a romance because it was fantasy; unrealistic. Also there were roses and roses are symbolism for romance and also the bird was symbolism for this mode. It took place in a castle which made tied in with the romance mode because that would be considered luxurious and that also symbolizes the mode of romance. And last but not least towards the end when they were describing how the bird gave the prince the key the author described how the sky lightens up into a lovely blue. Light blue skies are a clue that it could be romance.
From this information and clues you can piece them together and easily figure out that the mode of literature was romance.
