These limitations are very far in the time direction. a girl married a lion who turned into a prince. because a ray of light fell upon him (which was not all about her and was found him he had forgotten Also, in the self-conscious state we cannot see we tend to forget much of our previous knowledge. we tend to forget However, when we enter the self-conscious state, However, earth, our own past lifetimes on earth, etc. 4 sleeps. As the story progresses, the prince goes through many more trials and does eventually break the spell on the princess and marry her. So eventually the self-consciousness and All-con- sciousness are able to function together. In The Girl Who Met the Witch of the Woods (from Sweden, in Midsummer Magic, compiled by Ellin Greene), a girl was waylaid by the Witch of I l l u s t r the Woods. The witch held the girl under the water a t i o n of a stream until she forgot all her previous life and f o r thought that the witch was her caretaker. However, G r i m m she retained her feelings about what was good and ’ s H a bad, and when the witch tried to get her to kidnap n s e l a baby, she resisted. This led to her eventual escape a n d from the witch and return home. G r e t e l In The King’s Son (ldries Shah, Tales of the b y A Dervishes), a prince (self-consciousness) went on r t h u r a journey to a far country in order to obtain a jewel R a c k (All-consciousness) guarded by a fearsome mon- h a m , ster (the Dweller on the Threshold).

The king became RAYS 03 5 impatient and wished that the boys would turn into ravens, which immediately happened. In The Fairies’Two Gifts (Grimm Fairy Tales), a fairy was kindly lodged by a poor couple and as a reward the fairy granted them three wishes. Thus the couple was granted that they would have health and strength throughout their life, would have their simple daily wants provided and would have a new house. When a rich man, who had originally refused lodging to the fairy, found out what she had granted to the poor couple, he rode after the A r t fairy on his horse and apologized for his treatment h u r of her and asked if he could have three wishes also, R a c k h which she granted. For some time he could not a m i l l think of what he wanted to wish for.

Silenced by grief, Esther leaves her young daughter, Aurora, to fend for herself; against a backdrop of an absent father and maternal neglect, the child takes comfort wherever she can, but the fierce attachments she forms never seem to last until, as an adult, she travels to her father’s native Ireland. If You Were Mine employs elements of well-known fairy tales and explores themes of maternal abandonment and loss, as well as the consequences of adoption, in a narrative that laments the perilous nature of children’s lives.

  • Fairy Tales and Political Socialization
    FAIRY TALES AND POLITICAL SOCIALIZATION by Mehrdad Faiz Samadzadeh A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Leadership University of Toronto Ontario Institute for Studies in Education © Copyright by Mehrdad Faiz Samadzadeh 2018 FAIRY TALES AND POLITICAL SOCIALIZATION Mehrdad Faiz Samadzadeh Doctor of Philosophy Department of Curriculum, Teaching & Leadership Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2018 Abstract The concept of childhood is one of the many facets of modernity that entered Western consciousness in the seventeenth century. It emanated from the historical mutations of the post-Renaissance era that set in motion what Norbert Elias calls the civilizing process, one that spawned a repressive mode of socialization in tandem with the cultural and ideological hegemony of the new power elite. Accordingly, childhood became a metaphor for oppression targeting not only children, but also women, the underclass, the social outcast, and the colonized as they all were deemed “incompletely human”. From mid-nineteenth century on, however, childhood began to evince a liberating potential in tandem with the changing direction of modern Western civilization. This ushered in an alternative concept of childhood inspired by the shared characteristics between the medieval and modern child that finds expression in the works of distinguished literary figures of the Victorian era. What followed was an entire movement towards the recognition of children’s rights and status that set the context for the growing interest in childhood as a subject of historical inquiry in the twentieth century. This conceptual vicissitude of childhood is central to the present thesis which I pursue in relation to the literary genre of fairy tale.

  • CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This Chapter Describes and Explains
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION This chapter describes and explains about the basic consideration (reason for choosing topic, the fairy tale and the character), research questions, research objectives, research significances, and research scope. Basic Consideration Year by year, folkloric fantasy literature has become an extremely popular phenomenon since many films or even children movies was adopted from fantasy literature. Stories about mystique, magic, and witch have been fascinated and were belong to folkfloric fantasy genre. As an example, the film adaptation of Evan Daugherty Snow White and the Huntsman from Brothers Grimm’s tales and the recent movie about the children’s adventure in Alice in Wonderland based on the novel written by Lewis Carroll, have became a new dimension in literary work that makes fantasy literature more popular and familiar to people around the world. As Dyke (n.d) cited in Ruiz (2015) states that literature is the written works which interpret the meanings of nature and life through the power of words and it brings us to the world of imagination and takes us away from reality. Children, teenagers, and even adults have been impressed by the magical world in the Cinderella’s movie by Walt Disney and that movie story also adapted from Brothers Grimm’s fairy tale. Instead the presence of beautiful princess and fairy godmother, the existence of wicked people are important to develop the story. A fairy tale is a story within the fantasy genre. As Willis (2014) argued that “a fairy tale is always a fantasy, whereas a fantasy need not be a fairy tales”.

From the very first letter on that threateningly empty page to the final arrangement of chapters and ideas, a multitude of voices have been woven into that which eventually lies before you as the most curious of objects: the finished thesis. I am delighted to have this opportunity to thank some of you who helped me transform that empty page into this book. Over the years, my supervisor Prof. Roger D. Sell of Åbo Akademi Uni- versity has taken a constant interest in my work, and for this I am most grateful. His critical eye on both form and content helped me disentangle my thoughts and sharpen my arguments. Without his efforts to make me do better, this thesis would, no doubt, have been much poorer. Prof. Maria Nikolajeva of Stockholm University was also with me from the very begin- ning, offering expert advice and sparing no personal effort in commenting on numerous versions of the manuscript.
