Bruno Bettelheim, a therapist and instructor, delves into the psychological thought process of children while they are edified due to fairy tales. Without fairy tales, children are robbed of what they could gain from literature. By Bettelheim’s standards within “The Struggle for Meaning,” children are entitled to a deeper meaning of literature. Fairy tales captivate children’s creative thought process to unconsciously guide them morally. This is done by letting children not choose between good…

do this, it sacrifices an even distribution of utility and ‘sanctions injustice’. It directs us to act unjustly to a few in order to achieve happiness on a larger scale- failing to respect individuals needs and rights.
