Fairy tales indicate to entertain as well as provide an underlying moral lesson to its’ readers.

An archetypal hero appears in all forms of literature, mostly known for its presence in religions and mythologies, but the hero itself is an expression of our “personal and collective unconscious” (Campbell’s A Hero With a Thousand Faces).
