Fairytales are used to teach children morals and some principles. In my opinion‚ however‚ they usually reinforce stereotypes like the death of mothers‚ wicked stepmothers‚ prevalence of good over evil and a happy conclusion. Mostly mothers and brothers die in fairy tales. The deaths of fathers and daughters are less likely (Atwood‚ 1998‚ p.31). The death of a mother is a common event in
