    ‘the Fairy Tale Has Become Totally Institutionalized in Western Society’ (Reader 1, P.38). Investigate and Evaluate This Claim by Jack Zipes, with Particular Reference to ‘Little Red Riding Hood’.

    Fairy tales are part of every Western child 's upbringing, and have been for decades. The method of telling and the stories them selves may have changed from the purely oral tradition to that of the written word with the introduction of the printing press and more importantly the Chap Book in the eighteenth century (Montgomery, 2009 p. 13). But the basic core of the tales remain hundreds of years on to instruct and delight children to this day. These days children are surrounded by fairy tales in the form of the books read to them at home or nursery/school, television and film adaptations, cartoons and even advertisements, as well as Christmas pantomimes. Each version they see will have differences, some more subtle than others, but the basic story will be the same.…

    Jud Suss As A Fairy Tales

    Can propaganda act as a fairytale? Fairytales are not only entertaining, but they teach certain behaviors and attitudes just like propaganda. Whether fairytales are produced by the government or regular citizens, they can tell historians about the country they were made in and what that country values. Viet Harlan directed and wrote the screenplay for the film Jud Süß. This movie was filmed and released in 1940 and the notorious character of Joseph Suss Oppenheimer is portrayed by Ferdinand Marian. When it was released, Jud Süß acted as a fairytale in the way that it glorifies German ideals for society, it has a clear moral, and has both a hero and a villain.…

    Little Red Riding Hood Research Paper

    I myself was once a fool for fairy tales. I followed Hans Christian Andersen into the fathoms of the ocean and swam with mermaids; climbed down a high tower along Rapunzel's hair; danced merrily with Snow White and the dwarfs, witnessed the miraculous metamorphosis of the Swan Princess and strolled into the woods with the Little Red Riding Hood. Fairytales had me helplessly mesmerized.…

    Today there are only a few orders of "knights." These include the Knights of Columbus and Knights of Malta and they represent the ideals and values that knights were supposed to uphold.

    Fairy Tales

    ASSOCIATED PRESS January 14, 2004 Fairy tales offer children a fantasy world of magic, romance and adventure where pumpkins are transformed into crystal coaches and a kiss from a handsome prince can bring a young girl back to life. But tales like "Cinderella," "Sleeping Beauty" and "Snow White" are also sending strong messages about the importance of having a beautiful appearance, according to a study by Purdue University sociologist Liz Grauerholz and Lori Baker-Sperry, an assistant professor of women's studies at Western Illinois University. Grauerholz and Baker-Sperry examined 168 Brothers Grimm fairy tales to study how they deal with beauty in "The Pervasiveness and Persistence of the Feminine Beauty Ideal in Children's Fairy Tales." Beauty or ugliness is referred to in 94 percent of the Grimms' fairy tales, with evil characters often being described as ugly. In "Cinderella," beauty in women was referred to 114 times. The stories have fewer than 35 references to male characters, according to the study. "I think the message that's given to girls is that beauty is one of the most important traits for females in our society," says Grauerholz. "Boys don't get the message as much that it's so important to be handsome." The Brothers Grimm fairy tales were written by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early 19th Century. Originally written in German, they were translated into English in 1851. Five have been reproduced more than 100 times: "Cinderella," "Snow White," "Briar Rose" (also known as "Sleeping Beauty"), "Little Red Cap" (also known as "Little Red Riding Hood") and "Hansel and Gretel." The heroines are usually beautiful, and ugliness is seen as a sign of evil in 17 percent of the stories, according to the study. Many argue that beauty or ugliness is used a symbol of each character's capacity for good or evil. There are notable exceptions to this -- such as Snow White's beautiful,…
