Try to look into the elements of fairy tales, like characterization, plot, style, recurrent themes, and endings. Would fantasy in fairy tales add a new dimension, meaning, and purpose to one’s life? How would you evaluate the combat between the forces of good and the forces of evil? Are virtue, honesty, and hard work rewarded, and deceit, treachery, and sedition punished? Are these traits linked to stereotypical characters? What does this romantic make-believe evoke in today’s child reader? Do children know feelings such as jealousy, fear, anger, and sadness, embedded in fairy tales? What do these dark narratives teach us about facing our fears? Do you appreciate the ‘happily ever after’ denouement? What do these tales teach the child reader about disparity in social classes? Does the depiction of males and females draw from traditional gender roles? These are just brainstorming questions and are by no means an outline of your paper. You are expected to show some creativity and some originality of approach to the selected primary sources. You are also expected to refer to critics’ views on the topic of fairy tales. When it comes to planning your essay, you may find it helpful to set up an outline structure of points you wish to make, and then choose selected scenes, episodes and features of the fairy tales to write about in detail to flesh out your points.

Select some excerpts or scenes that relate to your argument. State what they say and add your own comments and interpretation. 4. Make sure your essay refers to some quotations from the fairy tales. 5. Your analytical comments should precede or follow every time you quote from the text under discussion or the critical material you refer to. Quote sparingly and avoid long quotes 6. Reference to critical material related to this topic is necessary (you should refer to at least 3 critical works).

All your references should follow the Harvard citation system uploaded on the LMS for your perusal. 8. You should refer and quote from the course’s audiovisual material whenever possible. The audiovisual material should be well integrated in your essay. 9.
