Fairy Tales Morals

Fairy Tales are not just stories that parents tell to their children, but stories with hidden valuable messages which are mostly left on a side. In the article “An Introduction to Fairy Tales,” Maria Tatar clearly explains how people need fairy tales in their lives. Tatar also states how fairy tales have the ability to take the listener, especially children’s, into a journey in which they can play with their imagination so that they can discover their deepest fears and wishes. Personally I agree with the author, because of the fact that in an individual’s lives as they get older, they will try to define themselves, sometimes comparing their own life with a character from their favorite story or Fairy Tale.

In Sex and Violence:The Hard Core of Fairy Tales, a small section from the book The classic fairy tales, Maria Tatar delivers a very etail criticism of the Brothers Grimm. She states the reasons why she believes Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm chose to incorporate violence, but made the conscious decision to remove all sexual content in their versions of short stories. As a result, this is way that children tales are developed in today's’ society, which devoid sexual ideas that others believe are not appropriate for children. Tatar begins her argument by claiming that fairy tales were already violent before Wilhelm and Jacob edited them. She then goes in depth to talk about the fairy tales in Nursery and Household Tales, where she says that the brothers

Tales from the past still teach lessons and morals that everyone can implement in society today. The Grimm’s others Tales were first told aurally but only did they get documented when the brothers decided to write them down. and perseverance. These stories are still read today because, they help us transform ourselves and our conditions to live in a better world. These tales all have morals and warnings about the importance of family, seven deadly sins, and perseverance.

Before the Brothers Grimm transcribed what is known today as one of the most recognized fairytales ever recorded, it was being passed down orally from generation to generation at every corner of the globe. Various versions of Cinderella’s myth can be found in almost every culture in the world, all very distinct with their own specific qualities, reflecting each society’s predominant interpretations of religious themes. For instance, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s works were known to promote their Prussian culture and language, such as “Aschenputtel”, their German version of Cinderella. Most of their adjustments were heavily influenced by the criticism of their fellow countrymen, their audience, and their Christian beliefs.

The Grimm Brothers original fairy tale is filled with religious symbolism. The children are mindful of God's loving care for them ("God will not forsake us") other religious symbols include the color white for the innocence of childhood. The white bird leads them to a house of bread where they can get their fill and satisfy their hunger. The reference to "half a loaf" call to mind the Biblical story of the loaves and fishes.

I believe that the water from the Colorado River should be divided fairly amongst the states. The first part of my plan would be to figure out how many people live in each state. By doing this you can let the states with more people get more water. Next, I think we should take into account which areas need it most. For example, Yuma needs the water for farming, which is a large part of their economy. The final thing that Should be considered is the 1922 Colorado River pact. I believe this is important because it was created in case something like this ever happened, and the states had agreed to it, therefore it would not be fair unless we took it into consideration. If we follow all these steps it may help us fairly divide up the water from

Going through the paper, “Double Standards throughout the Ages,” I never realized how accurate these fairytales are in the real world. Women tend to have it easier to find someone royalty because men who are royalty are looking for someone who is kindhearted. Though, men who are not royalty, but do good deeds, tend to find someone that isn’t royalty. This paper reminds me of how it is right now, men have a tendency to get more money than women do, it’s not fair, but it’s how it is, same goes for women finding royalty and men not finding royalty.

Triumphant reward in spite of unjust punishment is a universal sentiment that transcends languages and cultures. There are thousands of folktales and fairy tales that are firmly rooted in individual cultures, yet the tale of Cinderella has been told through many centuries and throughout the far corners of the world. With thousands of versions of this classic tale in print worldwide, the tale is believed to have originated with the story of Rhodopis, a Greek slave girl who is married to an Egyptian King. The story of Rhodopis, which means rosy-cheeks, dates back to 7 BC and is attributed to a Greek geographer named Strabo. The Chinese variation of this fairy tale is named Yeh-hsien. The Chinese version is traceable to the year 860 and appears in Miscellaneous Morsels from Youyang by Duan Chengshi. Yeh-hsien is a young girl, motherless and in the control of her stepmother, who befriends a treasured fish. The jealous step-mother kills the fish, but it’s bones provide Yeh-hsien with magical powers, eventually enabling Yeh-hsien to escape the control of her step-mother for a royal life. The Story of the Black Cow which is found within the pages of Folk Tales from the Himalayas by John Murray, published in 1906, the child who is mistreated by a stepmother is a male and the role of savior is portrayed by a snake, with a cow serving as the moral of the story, faithfulness. These two versions of Cinderella carry many common threads that are

Along the way, Buck endures new challenges such as his struggle for leadership, his willingness to relinquish power to his owner, and internal struggle of wanting to be both wild and civilized. In Jack London’s novel, Call of the Wild, main character Buck evolves from a domesticated pet, into a wild, power-hungry wildebeest.

The film Brave, which was released in 2012 is a non-conventional animated film set in the Scottish highlands in the 10th century. Fairy-tales were traditionally passed down orally before being written down by scribes such as the Grimm brothers. They were generally used to teach young girls how to behave in order to do well in life. The majority of fairy tales show obedient young girls who grow up with hardship, but live to marry royalty and live 'happily ever after' because they are beautiful and kind. Many modern fairy tales today are inspired by these, but do not completely adhere to the tradition. Brave is a good example of this. It had modernised the usual conventions of fairy-tales. This is through the protagonist, Merida, the lessons

Once upon a time, there was a literary genre commonly know as fairy tales. They were mystical and wonderful and a child’s fantasy. These fairy tales were drastically misunderstood throughout many centuries, however. They endured a hard life of constant changing and editing to fit what the people of that time wanted. People of our own time are responsible for some of the radical changes endured by this undeserved genre. Now, these fairy tales had a young friend named Belle. Belle thought she knew fairy tales very well, but one day she found out just how wrong she was.

Young girls are often stuck in a world of make believe, they are fed fairytales, dream up unimaginable views of reality and believe everyone will find their prince charming. This unrealistic perspective is formed through their experiences with different fairytales. As G.K. Chesterton tells the fairytale are a realistic world for children, “Fairy tales are more than true — not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten”. Fairytales lead these girls to believe that in order to find true love there is some sort of intense journey one must go on. This idea of a journey for love has created a specific ideology for what love is and how to achieve it. In the text Beauty and the Beast by Madame Le Prince

An example of this would be Alice in Wonderland. This tale illustrated the importance of fantasy as well as adventure. Suval also uses Cinderella as a great example, which signifies personal growth and transformation. In conclusion of Lauren Suval, she states that fairy tales all have a meaning behind them that represents us if is fantasy or even a growth that isn't physical.

In fairy tales, folktales, myths, and legends, gender roles have noticeably been ridge between men and women, hero and heroine, with an emphasis on sexuality and the standard of beauty. Which makes me question; does our emphasis on sexuality and strict standard of beauty, represent their culture or does this transcend time and cultures? In folklore heroes are commonly portrayed with a combination of characteristics such as super strength, attractive, God-like, and have an unusual birth story.  A great example of this would be the great hero Hercules.
