As a little girl and even a bit older, I’ve always loved fairy tales. It takes us on a magic carpet ride and makes us think wow I wish I was the princess, and the handsome prince will save me. The princess always gets her man, and the endings are always happy, well at least the poems I have read. The original Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales aim to teach important morals about life, and I enjoy reading them. think I will be writing my research paper about how fairytales often show that parents are missing in stories like “Snow White” and “Hansel and Gretel”. This shows situations where parents are not there when they are really needed. I want to explore the psychological reasons behind this in fairytales. While I search for a good article to support my ideas on the BMCC database, I am also thinking about using another fairytale to strengthen my arguments.

Wow, you’ve got a great head start on your research paper! Fairy tales can be so much more than just happily ever afters, right? It’s cool that you noticed how parents are often missing in action. Snow White stuck in the woods with a creepy stepmother is a prime example!
Hello Dawn,
It’s clear that fairy tales and their influence on storytelling captivate you. It’s true that examining the parental absence in stories like “Snow White” and “Hansel and Gretel” might reveal psychological elements. Gaining support for your claims from another fairy tale could give you a more comprehensive understanding of this recurrent theme. I wish you luck in doing your study and locating relevant articles in the BMCC database.
