This innate power is probably the reason why, still today, fairy tales are as meaningful and effective as they were centuries ago, when the brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault first wrote them down. Thus, as fairy tales are powerful weapons to condition the minds of their readers, it is only natural that literary critics have decided to analyze them in great detail.

As time went by Zipes concludes, women lost their supremacy and “fairy tales…reinforced the patriarchal symbolic order based on rigid notions of sexuality and gender” (qtd. in Tatar 338). As Zipes explains, “the heroines in these fairy tales remain pathetic , passive, and pale in comparison to the more active characters”, usually the men, when compared to those of the first generation of fairy

the child in a way of making them realize the reality of the world is unjustified, and people can be harsh. Moreover, Tatar gives an explanation on how people grow up with the same fairy tales with different versions; which gives an entirely different personal idea. Fairy tales also develop the child’s intellectual mind by reading various kinds of genre. In paragraph six, Tatar pointed out that
