Today I am going to discuss is that the influence of fairy tale on readers and the perception of romantic relationship is the gender role and the danger of relationship. By studying different gender role in the romantic story, the characteristic of main characters is explored, readers learn the important lesson that the benefits of being a high-quality person. The tale, on the one hand, affects readers to believe the retribution of being devil person by showing how harsh the punishment the evil person receives. For example, in the tale, Snow White, the punishment of her wicked step mother is the death. Again, in the tale, Cinderella’s stepsisters are punished by the blindness. In the book, “The Classic Fairy Tale” ,shows that “two sister’s eyes are pecked by dove. In the end, they were punished for their wickedness and malice with blindness for the rest of their life.”(Brothers Grimm 120)
On the other hand, audience also can learn how lucky good people will be if they are being a fine mankind. For example, in tale, “Snow White”, readers understand that the reason why Snow White meet Prince because the seven dwarfs misunderstand that Snow White died already and put her in a glass coffin, then prince pass by and save her accidently. In the tale, “Snow White and Severn dwarfs,” shows that
“The seven dwarfs could not bring themselves to bury her in the black ground so they made a glass coffin, and set in upon the seventh mountain so that all who pass by could peek in upon her beauty. A prince come and carries the coffin. Snow white woke up by a accident stumble.”(Anne Seton 99)
At the section, the miraculously moment, at some level, can influence readers to believe the critical principle is that luck and miracle only come to people who has the beauty with an inner essence. Without Snow White’s kindness, she would not talk to the wicked queen who pretends to be a poor and old lady. And she would not buy the poison apple and ate it, and she would not be able meet the Mr. Prince.
Collecting all the coincidences together, readers are surely getting the message, which good people will be the lucky one eventually. Moreover, it also teaches readers that the dream to be perfect prince and princess is no long supported by the outer appearance or luxury castle, but the inner essence and the virtue. Namely, the concept of ideal does not rely on how beautiful people are; it depends on what they have inside of them such as kindness and self-confidence.

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.
