Today I would like to discuss some thing regard to gender role in Fairy tale. As explored the ideal PRINCE Charming and genre of fairy talelast few blogs. The danger of having complex relationship is the fact I would detail more today. It teaches readers beware of the dangers of having step mother and sisters ,and teach readers being brave to face it. As mentioned above, either kids or adults nowadays dream to be popular characters in school and society; therefore they can get Mr. “prince “attention or Miss Prince’s love. Therefore, in order to be popular, people need to maintain a strong networking. In other words, people need to maintain a variety of relationship with different groups includes strangers or devil person, and then their popularities will be rise up. However, when they occupy with keeping relationship with others, they overlook the danger from trusting strangers or evil person, but fairy-tale give them the sense of how scaring the danger can be. One of example is the danger from trusting strangers. For instance, in the tale,” Little Red Riding Hood”, she does not aware of danger from the strange wolf, and responses him all the questions precisely, therefore, it result that she and her grandmother are eaten by wolf at the end of story. The conversation between wolf and Little Red Riding Hood is that
Wolf: “ what are you doing here, little girl?”
Little Red Riding Hood: “I am going to see my Grandmother.”
Wolf: “Does she live very far away?”
Little Red Riding Hood: “Oh, yes, she lives beyond the mill that you can see over there. Here is the first house you come to in the village.”(Charles Perrault 15)
The other example is the danger of having evil sisters in the reality. The fairy tales obviously shows how wicked step sisters or real sisters can be and the great braveness of Cinderella. In the tale, “Beauty and Best”, although Beauty’s two sisters know that Beauty would be killed by Beast if she delays the time back castle; they purposely set her up and make her go back castle late. It is only story of how evil real sisters can be; the next example is how devil step sisters can be. In the tale, “Cinderella”, her step sisters are not only take over all her fancy materials, they also hurt her psychologically by laughing at her. For example, in the tale, it says,
“They took away her beautiful clothes, dressed her in an old Grey smoke, and gave her some wooden shoes.” “ Just look at the proud princess in her finery!” they shouted and laughed , taking her out to the kitchen, from morning until night she had to work hard. On top of that the two sisters did everything imaginable to make her miserable.” (Brothers Grimm 117)
The quotation shows how evil the step sisters are. In contrast, it also shows how brave Cinderella is when she lives in the terrible condition.
From the analysis above, it is clear that by reading fairy-tale, readers will realize the similar fact that happens in the society as well as the story. So, audiences will be influenced by the tale and be aware of the danger from stranger and evil person. It also implys readers that people should be brave to overcome the dangers when they encounter it.
By examining the gender role of different tales, I have disclosed how fairy tale influence the perception of society’s romantic relationships and readers. Despite fairy tales have negative effect on readers such as it overstates the romance of the tale result readers forget reality; they also have some positive influences on readers and Society. Audiences are not only get confidence based on the spiritedly satisfaction from the tales to the reality, they also affected by the lesson of being a mankind should have the beauty of virtue. In addition, they also get the sense of how danger by trusting strangers and evil people from tales. All in all, I would conclude that the confidence and the beauty of virtue: self-confidence, kindness and braveness are the way in the 2009 that we work against this ideal from fairy tale, It is the key principle of romantic relationsip.
