ABSTRACT
In a symbolic manner, fairy tales depict various aspects of life. They, for the most part, consider things that discourage one’s development. They can, however, show the path toward growth and encouragement by pointing the way and acting as a lure toward courageous action by showing that positive consequences follow positive actions. In this manner, fairy tales provide us with the hope that new beginnings and new developments are possible for us because of our inner strength. Fairy tales thus provide energy for our positive fantasies and hopes for the future.
