Gender Roles in Fairy Tales
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper examining the traditional gender roles presented in the classic fairy tales. Beginning from the observations of psychoanalyst Karen Horney and anthropologist Margaret Mead, the paper is mostly involved with the traditional view of the beautiful princess waiting for the rescue that will come in the person of the handsome prince. The concern with these tales is that they will train young female readers that normal life is that which can be found in the traditional fairy tale, and that they perpetuate traditional gender roles in which women depend on men for their very survival and are unable to think for themselves.

This review establishes the fact that adaptations of classics into children's books says a great deal about adult agendas, and provides backdrop for an investigation into current adaptations of Swift's work. In this regard, several reviews of contemporary adaptations of Gulliver, which are intended for children, are analyzed in order to determine the current editorial agenda for how this classic of English satire is perceived and presented to children.

Hans Christian Andersen
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay on Andersen. The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen were never meant to be read solely by children. The fact that Andersen's style frequently disguises a sophisticated moral message suggests that he also intended these stories to speak to adults. One of Andersen's best-known tales is "The Emperor's New Clothes," which focuses on the superficiality of pretense. A close examination of this story and Andersen's life suggests that "The Emperor's New Clothes" tells the reader something about the way that Andersen perceived himself and his work. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
