As always, I enjoyed reading your text, @honeydue. I think you're reaching an interesting high point in fairy tales: the real symbolism behind each of them. We know that these stories, although they were not originally created for children, eventually became children's literature and hence the sweetened tone of many of them and the sobering of their endings. It always catches the attention how, from some characters, we start to create the children's environment, their referent, their first concepts: good over evil, the bad stepmother, the witch, the fairies, the prince (an idea that I don't know to what extent he has hurt women), and so on. Most of them justify these stories because they supposedly want children to be creative, to have imagination, although many of them promote magical solutions to the problems. I am particularly struck by some esoteric and karmatic features that play a fundamental role in some of these stories, as well as some psychoanalytic studies that have been done about them. I find the studies of Little Red Riding Hood and Alice in Wonderland fascinating. Many thanks to you for offering us this work and to @adsactly for sharing!
