He must not only learn to survive on limited food, hard labor, and negative forty-degree weather, but he must learn to keep his identity in a place where the guards refer to him as a serial number, Shcha-854. In spite of this, he must learn to hold on to the little humanity he has left.…

Folklore are beliefs and ideas that are constantly changing throughout television or any source of media because Shameless was created by Paul Abbott, it is a comedy-drama remake based on the British series. The show centers on a dysfunctional family which consists of six siblings of Chicago, Illinois who struggle with their alcoholic father and estranged mother. Although many reality television shows exist to follow standard entertainment, Shameless can be argued as a modern folklore. The show, Shameless, is able to operate as folklore by qualities and characteristics presented in the show as the trickster, folk groups, motifs, and social context, but the main characters are archetypes of traditional hero which supports less validity of a…
