Abstract
Indonesia has a significant level of diversity, with approximately 633 ethnicities and more than 700 local languages. Each ethnicity represents its locality. The writing discusses six stories to identify similarities that characterize fairy tales in Indonesia using structural approach. The beginning of the plot is started with the encounter between humans and angels. The story's conflict begins when the angelic shawl is stolen, leading to negotiation for mixing upper and lower worlds. The denouement is tinged with the human being's resistance after breaking the taboos. The solution can be resignation to accept fate or struggle by making any possible efforts to reunite with his wife, the angel. The six-fairy tales have similarities despite being born and living in different cultural societies.
