Folktales are an interesting way of getting to know a society. Is it the society that makes the tale, or is it the tale that guides and makes the society?

I've been looking different scholarly secondary sources that are available for each of the sources. All of the questions I have searched up tend to be questions that follow the sources laterally- not directly asking questions related to the sources.
