Cultural understanding through comparative studies A Sample of Comparative Analysis of Fairy-tales

Why fairy-tales? 1. A fairy tale is a fantastic narrative as old as the nation. 2. A fairy-tale reflects values and beliefs of a nation. 3. A fairy-tale as a text causes our interest and desire to share opinions.

Think and answer! 1. Does a fairy-tale present a specific genre of text? 2. Can it form human conscience? Why? 3. Can it influence one’s outlook or widen it? How? 4. What concepts are usually reflected in a fairy-tale?

Oppositions most often presented in fairy-tales Good and evil Truth and lie

Answer the questions! 1) In what CSF are fairy-tales written? 2) What does the plot usually center around? 3) What difficulties do the characters have to overcome? 4) Are they a success? What stages do they go through? 5) Does wit play an important role in the final victory of good over evil?
