I chose to revise this fairy tale to correct the gender dissonance from the original tale. I believe that the ideal norms should be changed to better our society. That’s why I chose the Grimm version of Rumpelstiltskin to revise. The chosen audience for my tale is for the general audience. The fact that it can be for the general audience is because it can be read to different age groups. By reading it to different age groups it can affect how the general public view certain people because of…

In the story The Farmer’s Children, the fairy tale element is quite apparent at the beginning of the story, although, the story as a whole does not fit the norm of a usual fairy tale.

Disney Fairy Tales Vs Reality Once upon a time there were two universes. One universe contained every female child’s dream, while the other universe contained the harsh reality of life. They both showed all the signs of a functioning mankind. People roamed the streets, couples meet up to talk about their day, and the environment around them carried on without a glitch.

Our infatuations over fairy tales have been strongly shaped by romance-based reality television. In “Fairy Tales and a Dose of Reality,” Orenstein argues that reality television gives a false sense of hope of what love actually is: the television shows promote that love is based off status and appearance. According to Orenstein,…

The original Brothers Grimm fairy tales include a variety of stories, some of which include violent scenes. Some believe that children should be kept from these stories; they say that adolescents should only read a sanitized, more appropriate version of them. They argue that the main message of the stories are still present without the violence. Some, however, say that children should be taught the original stories.

I am certain that everyone can name numerous fairy tales. The most popular ones such as “Cinderella”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, and “Beauty and the Beast” are well known among the young and the elderly with a slight difference due to the various versions. The fairy tales that the elderly know are generally dark and disturbing while the most recent ones are happy and fantasy like. They attract more the little girls who want to be pretty princesses. In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë does not seem to…

was under the name Animal Farm: A Fairy Story. Then a year after publication, in 1946, publishers in the United States removed the last part to just read, more plainly, Animal Farm. However, the question still stands, 69 years later. Is Animal Farm by George Orwell a fairy tale? To be a fairy tale, the story has to fit a criteria.
