Fairy Tale Within The Evolution Of Culture

There are numerous genre’s in literature, but the level of importance and influence on an individual will differ. Exposure to books and stories is especially important for children because it their chance to acclimate themselves to written language and in turn create their own visuals for the toneless words. “Why Fairy Tales Matter: The Performative and the Transformative”, by Maria Tatar contains an ample amount of textual evidence from author’s research into fairytales, as well as writer’s personal experiences with fairytales. Although Tatar supports her claims with evidence, her resources are not concrete, and seems excessive at times. Also, her assertions are weakened by her failure to defend her conclusion against competing beliefs.

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.

"Once upon a time," the most used introduction phrase in common fairy tales used to start an adventure. These adventures have been around for years. The importance of some tales might be more significant than others, also based on culture. My goal for this paper is to educate my readers with the importance of fairy tales, especially for younger children. Fairy tales have been around for centuries from generations to generations. Different cultures, such as the Japanese and Western, have also expressed them differently. All these fairly tales teach children different aspects of life, which make these tales so important.

When I first decided on a topic I wanted to make sure I made my fairy tale version more modern day. The story is somewhat based off of the Hansel and Gretel fairy tale. I didn’t pick one specific version to follow but wanted to incorporate the theme of kids overcoming an obstacle to return home to their parents. The Fantasyland Park sounds like a place where you can go and find magic and is a world based on a fantasy. The castle was an important part and was made to look like this mysterious place from the outside but like a witch house on the inside. I got this idea from the candy house that Hansel and Gretel came across in the woods when they were stranded by their parents.

First we must define evolutionary biology, which is study of changes that happen in the community and populations. It deals with the study of human beings and it deals with the process of paleontology, ethology and ecology part of it. We have to understand that evolution biology impact our lives from different corner. Such as it role it plays in the study of us human origins and how we behavior and communicate. When scientist look at past generations and the present generations they look at how it as look at the population as a whole in regrade to food production , new and old threat that harms the environment , the new threat that human health faces.

“Happily Ever After,” the three words are so characteristic of a fairy tale. But do fairy tales need to have a happily ever after? The factual answer would be – No. Some of the original versions of the adapted screenplays didn’t have happy endings. In Charles Perrault’s version “Little Red Riding Hood1,” the wolf ate the grandmother and Little Red, thus leaving us with no happy ending. But fairy tales aren’t based on facts and logic. They are the creation of our imagination and (some) a result of our perversions.

Elizabeth Wanning Harries states that ‘all writers write in dialogue with the traditions they have inherited’ (14). As has been shown in the previous two chapters, the fairy tale and the fairy-tale adaptation has a long history, literary or otherwise, and the adapting author has an unavoidable tradition that must be considered when adapting. However, Australia is not subject to this tradition in quite the same way as other parts of the Western world. As an English-speaking country, Australia is still disconnected from both the shared fairy-tale history that the UK has with Europe, and the contemporary popular history of Disney in the US. The continued use of European fairy tales from the Grimms, Perrault and the conteuses in Australian adaptations,

For millions of years, we always wondered why society continues to tell stories that was created many years ago. Some people feel that by telling these stories it allows them to revert back on their childhood lives. Writers began to prove that continuing these stories not only reverts a person back to their childhood, but it carries out different values meant to gain through them. I personally agree that fairytales are told to gain life lessons. Although various people have come up with theories, but no one really knows why we continue these stories.

Fairy tales are read and told by many and leave lasting impressions and memories long into adulthood. While some of the originally intended morals of pre-modern fairy tales can be seen as outdated by today’s standards, these tales still hold great relevance because of the virtues they teach, their ability to foster the ability of imagination, and the way they are able to show how to deal with difficult situations often with great resourcefulness. Many people in today’s society feel the need shield their children from these tales because they deem many too scary or disagree with certain examples being set, but there is still much value to be found.

How did the fairytales we know today came about in our world? Years ago, the Era of Romanticism was started by men and women who let their imagination take them away from a world where religion and politics dominated. Nature became the root of their ideas and literature was glorified like a religion. The human spirit was examined in their eyes and they formed stories that intrigued the people in that time period. The origin of the literary movement, the lifestyle, and the literary art of the Romantic Era still affect us in some way or another.

Once upon a time, princess, curses and spells, a handsome man who saves the girl. These are all the qualities that make up a fairy tale. Since the beginning of time, tales have been passed down from family to family. Tales of heroism and magic have evolved into what we now call a fairy tale. Throughout history people have always celebrated the stories that capture the elements of the fairy tale. In both the Victorian and Romantic periods, the people celebrated the stories written by John Keats and Alfred Lord Tennyson. Two works from the Romantic and Victorian periods that have all the classic characteristics of a fairy tale are John Keats’s “The Eve of St. Agnes” and Alfred Lord Tennyson’s “The Lady of Shalott”. In both the Romantic and Victorian periods, John Keats and Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote fairy tale romances.

Stories in the form of folktale, fairytale, legend, and myths draw in the audience by intriguing their creativity and opening the realm of imagination. They do so by using abstract settings, storylines, and characters where there reader is forced to think outside the box of ordinary life and discover a world they may have never knew existed. Many times these fairytales use the gateway of magic to make these ideas more fathomable to the reader and create the illusion that it is all make believe. Magic is something that has been used throughout history in folktales, legends, and fairytales because it does all the explaining on its own of why the characters or story can be so spectacular without needing to be questioned about its

The origin of the fairy tale derives from oral tradition. These tales vary depending on the culture, time, and purpose of the teller, hence why there are multiple versions of a single tale. Every narrator reinvents the tale to meet their needs. The familiar themes, images, and symbols associated with the fairy tale tradition have been recycled by film makers and writers alike. This is because fairy tales are not only the most recognisable narrative worldwide, but they have a certain quality that captivates both the adult and child reader. While the narratives may not necessary contain fairies, they have a supernatural element to them, and often a moral message. In addition, they explore social concerns and identity formation without being

‘Seas of story’ is how Marina Warner refers to the world of fairy tales. The fairy tales world is a vast field of study which many scholars have tried to exhaust with minimum success. Scholars have spent a lifetime trying to understand the history of fairy tales only to realize they have only dipped their toes in the vast sea.

Fairy legends have been around from time immemorial in Ireland and several other countries. These legends have been an important part of Irish life and culture. A legend, in contrast to folklore, is meant to inform and reinforce beliefs. Legends are less about fiction and the unbelievable, and more about the ordinary. The fairy legends in Ireland are abundant, as there are many different tales that describe fairies and their habits distinctly. A large portion of these legends have been told orally, so documenting them is difficult. In modern films and stories, such as Disney, fairies are generally portrayed as being kind and helpful to humans, but according to Irish legend, fairies are not always benevolent creatures. The tales involving
