Andersen’s Fairy Tales THE EMPEROR’S NEW CLOTHES Many years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. He did not trouble himself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either to the theatre or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes. He had a different suit for each hour of the day; and as of any other king or emperor, one is accustomed to say, ‘he is sitting in council,’ it was always said of him, ‘The Emperor is sitting in his wardrobe.’ Time passed merrily in the large town which was his capital; strangers arrived every day at the court. One day, two rogues, calling themselves weavers, made their appearance. They gave out that they knew how to weave stuffs of the most beautiful colors and elaborate patterns, the clothes manufactured from which should have the wonderful property of remaining invisible to everyone who was unfit for the office he held, or who was extraordinarily simple in character. 2 of 260 eBook brought to you by Andersen’s Fairy Tales Create, view, and edit PDF.

This stuff must be woven for me immediately.’ And he caused large sums of money to be given to both the weavers in order that they might begin their work directly.

  • The Dreams of Hans Christian Andersen 1 Patricia Garfield, Ph.D
    The Dreams of Hans Christian Andersen 1 Patricia Garfield, Ph.D. The Dreams of Hans Christian Andersen (Originally presented at IASD, June 21, 2004, Copenhagen, Denmark) Introduction Tak for sidst, which is to say, “thanks for last time.” Copenhagen has been the site of many happy visits with my late husband and some Danes have become dear friends. In particular, I want to give very special thanks to my Danish friend and translator, Bente Licht Mirow. She not only found Andersen’s journals on the Internet but translated his dreams recorded in them from old Danish into English. She even located an additional dream that hadn’t been included in the official list of his dreams. Beyond that generosity, our discussions about Andersen over the last months added immeasurably to my understanding of him. Tak, Bente. Olaf Hansen, too, kindly shared his knowledge of Danish culture and sent me a compact disc with the haunting tune from Viking times called “I Dreamt Me A Dream Last Night” (of silk and precious cloth…) Tak, Olaf. Brief Biography of Andersen Hans Christian Andersen, or H. C. Andersen (as he’s called in Denmark), described his life as a fairy tale. It’s easy to see why. A barely educated boy from a poor family, only son of a cobbler and an illiterate washerwoman, Andersen became the friend of royal and aristocratic families. A shy adult with fears and faults, he found his voice in tales that spellbound generations of people for almost two centuries. The Dreams of Hans Christian Andersen 2 Patricia Garfield, Ph.D.

  • Dreams and Stories in Hans Christian Andersen: Metanoia As Literary Resource and Community Acceptance
    Dreams and stories in Hans Christian Andersen: Metanoia as literary resource and community acceptance Angélica García-Manso University of Extremadura, Spain Abstract This paper analyzes the motif of the "dream within the dream" or Metanoia as one of the most interesting structural components in the stories of Hans Christian Andersen. For example, the considerations about “The Shadow” (as well as other stories) reveal how, moreover, Metanoia has important repercussions on the aspect of "community acceptance" in the writer's work, without forgetting the role of Metanoia in the light of how stories are constructed through internal references and the duality between reality and dream. Introduction: From Catharsis to Metanoia The main argument of the present study lies in the analysis of the literary resource of Metanoia applied to the stories of Hans Christian Andersen. In this way, it is argued that Metanoia occupies the same place in the Danish writer's stories with regard to "community acceptance" as does recourse to Catharsis in classical tragedy. Such is the ultimate goal of this essay: to show how Metanoia organizes different levels of the story as well as themes about the individual, the family and, finally, the community. Really, the social implication of the spectator in the literary work offers one of its most significant examples in the concept of Catharsis from classical Greek tragedy. According to this notion of Catharsis, the audience's complicity in a plot culminates in a process of personal and social purification that fosters the idea of identity and of belonging to a group. Indeed, Catharsis proceeds, like the Greek tragedy itself in its origins, from a religious ritual (Dodds, 1962, p.

Document Type: Critical essay Full Text: COPYRIGHT 2006 Gale, COPYRIGHT 2007 Gale, Cengage Learning Full Text: [(essay date 1990) In the following essay, Wangerin presents a personal reading of some of Andersen's best known fairy tales, utilizing his own memories and reminiscence to emphasize Andersen's recurring themes of redemption, forgiveness, and hope.] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child. When I became a man I put away childish things, but the man I became was shaped in childhood, and that shape remains forever. Fairy tales shaped me. I have since "put them away." That is, the adult is a mostly rational creature, aware that fairy tales are not "real" but are a fantasy, an entertaining escape from the problems of the real world. As a man, I make such tales an object of my attention and maintain an analytical control over them: I read them. I interpret them; they don't interpret me. I master the tales, placing them within my memory and my experience exactly where I wish them to be. Fairy tales dwell within the adult. But as a child all full of wonder I approached the fairy tale as something real indeed. Children meet the problems of the world with their imaginations, and the fairy tale honors and feeds and abets the imagination.
