Realistic fairy tales (part one)

 This is a new project where I will be talking about characters from fairy tales that describes real people. I've made a long list of them so I shall create more than one post featuring each character from fairy tales. I've loved fairy tales ever since I can remember, as early as before I started school at the age of four. I believe that the reason these stories are so appealing, attractive and popular is because they're magical. Also people can identify with the characters in them. So can you identify with the following characters? Do you have their traits? Can you identify with more than one character? Look at the characters, their traits, which could match your own. 

Snow White.


From The Brothers Grimm, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a beautiful and dark story. The main character is a princess called Snow White. If you can identify with her, you would have similar traits to Snow White. She is about innocence and vulnerability; She's stalked, an object of scorn, a run-away, escapes a broken home and flees danger. She's about wanting and needing a new identity. She searches for stability but she's also naive, and nature loving. She overcomes traumatic experiences and finds rebirth. What she needs the most is Wisdom. 

Cinderella


Another story by The Brothers Grimm is Cinderella, a rags-to-riches story. The heroine is mistreated at home and forced to do endless chores. If you can identify with Cinderella, you would have traits similar to her. She's a victim of domestic abuse, bullying and treated badly by her relatives. She represents being the black sheep of the family, made an outcast, feeling left out and missing out. Cinderella is a daydreamer, who is house bound, unfree and restricted. Cinderella also relies on escapism and transformation, but needs Strength the most. 

(There is going to be more in the series coming soon)...
