Goldilocks

Improved Essays
For my fairy tale, I chose to read the story about “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. In this story, Goldilocks is harassed and frightened by the bears. She is portrayed as the “bad” character in a few instances. In my opinion, she is a very inspiring young lady and the bears scurried her away for no apparent reason. Goldilocks was a good character since she was just hungry, tired, and unknown.
To start, Goldilocks was hungry and was searching for food which doesn’t make her a horrible character. Since we don’t know where she was coming from, she may have been starving for days. With a choice of three bowls of porridge, a sample was taken from each bowl. The first bowl was too hot and the second was the opposite. Goldilocks realizes that the third one was the perfect

She may have been traveling and had not come upon a house in quite some time. Without food for days, it wouldn’t be hard for an individual to walk into a house and explore their options. Also, Goldilocks doesn’t have a family to rely on as the bears do. I firmly assume that Goldilocks had no rest in the prior days to this incident and that she was in dire need of it. Could Goldilocks had a family member that passed away and she was left alone to take care of herself? What if she was abandoned? These questions all sum up to the lack of knowledge the reader has about Goldilocks.
Overall, Goldilocks was not a bad character. She was extremely hungry and tired. The author presents her in a way that is unfair. To me, there is no question that Goldilocks may have been in trouble and in desperate need of food and shelter. Since she was unknown, there is no telling of what persuaded Goldilocks to enter the bears’ house. She had no family and was instead wandering around by herself in the woods. Although she did break into a house, Goldilocks happens to be a good character in the fact that she was tired, hungry, and

One of these keys is “...for the little room at the end of the long corridor on the ground floor,” which she is forbidden from entering with the warning of extreme anger on his part. Having told her exactly where the place is that she is not allowed to go, giving her a key to the off-limits place, and planting the idea in her mind, when he easily could have avoided speaking of it altogether, he leaves on his journey. Now overcome by curiosity, she goes to the room, and, after hesitating for a moment, opens the door. In most of the other BRB tales she does not hesitate to think about her own “disobedience”, as…

    Joseph Campbell, in his book chapter “The Self as Hero,” argues how all heroes go through similar, if not the same, stages on the way to complete their journey. He supports his claim by citing evidence from classic literary tales like “The Princess and the Frog” and “When the Two Came to their Father” and appealing to pathos and logos. Campbell’s purpose is to educate readers on how most hero stories follow the same path and can influence and be influenced by the public, who can learn from the hero 's journey.

    For a long time people have been using fairytales to teach valuable life lessons. Naturally there are many different accounts of each fairytale, but the majority of people usually divide them between the traditional and modern versions. Referring to the traditional often means the harsh lesson connected to the works by The Brothers Grimm while modern refers to the happy animated Disney interpretations. Looking past the differences in how The Brothers Grimm and Disney like to mood their stories they both share the similar themes of what jealousy and cruel acts can lead to, the envy of the evil Queen in Snow White, the rage and vanity of Gothel in Rapunzel, and the greed of Cinderella’s stepmother and sisters; however, there seems to be a controversy…

    Fairy tales grow from the life experience and the imagination of a particular group of people. They meet four basic human needs; explain mysteries, articulate fears and dreams, impose order and also entertain.

Within the Little Red Riding Hood tales the motif of naivety or the loss of naivety prevails. In three different versions of the tale, the Little Red Riding Hood characters naivety is developed in three very different ways.…
