Fairy tale as myth/myth as fairy tale

Zipes cites ______ to argue that fairytales can connect us to a sacred time that allows for a mortal to "gain a sense of his or her origins and feel the process of history in the present" (p2)

• Maria Tartar

• Mircea Eliade

• Theodor Adorno

• Sigmund Freud

For Zipes -in regards to Eliade, the fairy tale becomes a doublet for

• warning tales

• creation myths

• initiation myths

• profane time

What are some ways that fairy tales are woven into our daily existence? (p.4)

What do you think Zipes means when he states "these myths and fairy tales are historically and culturally coded, and their ideological impact is great"? (p.4)

Zipes draws upon theories from ______ to argue how fairy tales are encoded with rules to establish the civilising process -the rules by which we live. (p.4-5)

• Sigmund Freud

• Theodor Adorno

• Mircea Eliade

• Roland Barthes

Why does Zipes believe that some newly written fairy tales don't "stick" with us the way that others like Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, or Beauty and the Beast have always been with us "as if they are a part of our nature"

• People just haven't heard them yet.

• People only like tales from their childhood

• They do not conform to the structure of the "classical" fairy tale

• Zipes doesn't say this at all

"The classical fairy tale makes it appear that we are all part of a _____" (p5)

• shared narrative

• universal community

• plan

• dream

Zipes uses Roland Barthes to argue that contemporary myth (fairy tales) undergoes/underwent a process through which culture turns into nature -which upholds the doxa. (p.6) What is the doxa?

• God

• General/popular opinion

• rites of passage

• mythical ideals

Zipes, citing Roland Barthes, argues that fairytales become "frozen speech", since as myth, it is speech that is "stolen and restored". What do you think he means by this?

Which are the three ways that Zipes defines duplication (p.8)

• anything corresponding to something else

• the act of doubling something

• the repetition of an act

• the folding of something in two
