Realistic fairy tales (part three)

 This is the third part of Realistic Fairy Tales project. You may wonder what this project is about. If you didn't read my other posts, I will quickly say that this is fairy tale characters with realistic traits that people can identify with. You might think you have a lot in common with a fairy tale character after reading stories. Okay let's continue with more characters and their traits.

Pinocchio 

This is one of those naughty boy stories from "The Adventures of Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi. Pinocchio is a well known character. He's a living wooden puppet whose nose gets very long each time he tells fibs. The most understandable things about him is that he behaves like a normal child, although a bit different. If you think you identify with Pinocchio, he does often tell lies. He doesn't lie out of malice but because it seems easier. Lying comes naturally to him. He learns that it doesn't help, and makes things worse. He wishes to be normal. What he needs most of all is Honesty. 

Jack   

From "Jack and the Beanstalk" by Joseph Jacobs is a retelling of older versions of this very old English folklore character, named Jack. In this story, he sells a cow for magic beans, climbs a beanstalk and becomes a giant killer. If you can identify with Jack, you will share these following characteristics: He's trusting, and yet unafraid. He's adventurous although he's reckless, daring and acts on impulse. He feels that something larger than himself is coming after him. He flees danger, but should never have been put into danger in the first place. What Jack needs most of all is Awareness.

Realistic fairy tales (part two)

This is the second part now of "realistic fairy tales". This is a new project where I will be talking about characters from fairy tales that describes real people. Do you think you can 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. 

 Red Riding Hood

A well known story that warns of stranger-danger. This is by the Brothers Grimm, who have  given us this version from an even older oral traditional story. If you can identify with Red Riding Hood, then these are traits. She's youthful and most of all enjoys walking, hiking and the outdoors. She wants to heal,, as she's tender and caring. However, she's also very trusting and overlooks problems. What she really needs is Caution. 

 Rapunzel

This is a tricky story by the Brothers Grimm. Rapunzel is a maiden locked up in a tall tower but her hair is so long that she uses it as a rope. It isn't just about her long hair. Rapunzel represents being imprisoned and emotions that go with it such as loneliness, solitude and helplessness for this sense of feeling trapped. She has hidden talents and remarkable abilities. In a way she might come across as distant and aloof to others. What Rapunzel needs is Independence.
