An aspect that I want to talk about in my research paper is the elements of feminism and moral lessons. I want to discuss this topic because to morals lesson was and still is unclear for children. For example in my preteen years I learned that the fairy tale Jack and the bean stalk was basically about doing what your parents tell you to do or you might have negative experience or outcomes from your actions. I did not know that when I first heard the story around the age of five or six. I think it was just about a young boy taking a trip to a magical land with a giant. Another example of a moral lesson that was unclear but is the same moral lesson of Jack and The Bean Stalk is Little Red Riding Hood. I think this message was unclear due to so much attention being put onto the world of the fairytale instead of the lesson,

Feminism and moral lessons are two very important things! I think a lot of stories have unclear moral lessons! I agree with Jack and the Beanstalk and I think that moral lessons should be more upfront and brought up in a more positive way for kids to understand and enjoy. The fairy tales can often scar kids and instill fear in them so bad that it will carry on into their adult lives. Childhood trauma!
You really just sparked my interest with childhood trauma having relation to fairy tales.
Yasmin, the morals of fairytales is a great topic to explore. I think I may have a couple of sources I can share with you. Remind me, okay?
I will remind you tomorrow, thank you.
