Modern day folk tales stories differ from traditional ones in several ways. Firstly, the themes are different.

Secondly, the characters in modern folk tales are more likely to be urban - dwelling individuals like office workers or students. In contrast, traditional folk tales had characters like peasants, kings, and witches. And finally, the way they are shared is different.
