Fairy Tales Vs Novels
(Jill Faith)
Fairy tales vs Novels There?s no wonder why fairy tales are for children, or for childlike adults. If you have read a novel for adults, you will see this. A novel is often much more complicated and when reading many of them you have to think a lot. Every character in a novel thinks a great deal, too. What happens in their minds is described in details and often changeable and sometimes conflicting. In a person, there may be two parts, a good part and a bad part. A character can be good in the start but turns bad later, and vice versa. Another point, a person?s appearance can be different from his nature. A man who looks very gentle and harmless can turn out to be a very cruel person. However in fairy tales, it often doesn?t happen that way. If someone is bad from the start, he is very likely to be bad until the story ends! And if someone has a devil look, he must be a cruel character or turn out to be a witch! Fairy tales go like that. Unlike in novels, characters in fairy tales do not have complex ways of thinking or don?t have conflicting thoughts in their minds. Fairy tales usually just focus on describing about actions of characters, not very much about their feelings. For example in the story ?Sleeping beauty?, the prince found the old castle where the princess was sleeping in and got in. The fairy tale just tells that the prince was amazed at the beauty of the princess and kneed down to kiss her. But it doesn?t tell about how the prince felt when he saw such an old castle and he even didn?t wonder to whom this castle belonged, why it was emptied like that, and why such a beautiful girl slept in this castle, etc. Fairy tales are simple in the way of writing. You don?t have to think very much when reading a fairy tale. Therefore, it is for children and whoever likes the simplicity in life.
