The Role Of Krystal In Fairy Tales
As in all fairy tales, a princess, a knight, and a villain are always reborn to take on their designated roles, forced together by a bizarre moment of fate. Whether the individuals find it to be a curse or a blessing, Krystal is definitely looking at it in a positive light as she stands by Loam's side, as she knows that the heroes always win. Krystal, the lamb, met Loam, the wolf, during their first investiture, when he was granted his knightship and was assigned to guard her. She is also taking additional precautions, as one would do if they were subjected to multiple stories of princesses being helplessly kidnapped, by arming herself before the duo are forced to face the villain of their fabled tale. Krystal depends on ranged attacks with

    Fairy tales always used “once upon a time in a kingdom far far away” as the beginning of the story, thought very simple but this sentence is actually very important to a fairy tale because it makes every thing about the story divorced from the reality and allow things impossible in real life, such as talking animal present in the story. Especially for fairy tales, animal personification is a very important part. In my story, the folks in the village are animal and human, they are equal, thrive together, sharing the land, however human is the master of the world in the reality, so I need to put that sentence to lead my readers to a different world. In addition, the main characters are not prince and princess so I used a “village” rather than a “kingdom”. I think this sentence had added some feelings of mystery into my…

    In The Woman in Fairy Tales, Marie-Louise von Franz studies the feminine representations in fairy tales. She bases her study on collective symbols assumed to be present in these stories to shed light on the various facets of the anima. This book points at the fact that even if fairy tales are generally seen as a form of distraction, these stories have also a psychological function which expresses the psychic processes of the collective unconscious.

    Since Lanval is estimated to have been written almost two hundred years after Beowulf, it is obvious that societal ideas have changed, along with the roles and expected behavior of ladies of state. Lanval opens with the introduction of Lanval, a foreign knight serving under King Arthur. Lanval is often overlooked by the King and his fellow knights in terms of finances and friendship, so he is rather put out by being in a strange country alone with little money and no estate to speak of. Enter the first major female character, and Lanval’s soon to be lover, the (largely assumed fairy) Queen. Although she remains nameless and rather sexualized throughout the story, the Queen welcomes Lanval to be her lover, and generally fills all of the roles a husband would at this time. She provides material things as well as money for Lanval, on the basis that he keep their relationship a secret. The Queen is described as other worldly and extremely beautiful, but also independent and in need of no man to provide for her. Throughout the story, the (fairy) Queen retains control of their relationship, going so far as to save Lanval from certain death at the hands of King Arthur’s court and whisk him away to lands unknown via…

    Media plays an important role in the depiction and construction of gender. Several studies exist which have focused on gender role portrayals and gender stereotyping appearing in the media. Considering this phenomenon, gender stereotyping is not only displayed in commercials or other television programs, but these can also be found in media products directed towards children. One of the issues , which is of great interest to many researchers is that even fairy tales, like cartoons and animation films, present male and female characters portrayed stereotypically (Robinson et al. 2006:203). Fairy tales have been the first kind of literature with which children…

Throughout the play, Katherina, the daughter of a rich gentleman, is referred to as a commodity and is the “shrew” referenced in the title. However, Katherina has many admirable qualities, such as being intelligent, reasonable, and modest.…

    Stereotype. Stereotypical. Stereotyping. All are words I’m sure we all have heard. A question I have asked myself is “Why do stereotypes exist and more importantly, why do they matter?” A stereotype is an oversimplified image of a person, place, or object. George Takei, a Japanese actor, once said “If we allow ourselves to judge another based on a stereotype, we have allowed a generalization to replace our own thinking.” So why do we allow ourselves, as people, to judge one another based on a stereotype? The answer is we shouldn’t.…
