| 10 | "Fairy tale" is the English name for a specific type of fantastic folktale. The term "fairy" in this case is not a reference to the creatures now called fairies, but to the word's original meaning, the "faery"; the "place of the fae" (c.f. "nunnery", "rookery"). Originally meant to refer to the otherworlds where fairy beings like the elves and the sidhe live, it eventually took on a more generic meaning as "land of magic". Very few fairy tales actually feature [[OurFairiesAreDifferent fairies]]; even those European countries with a developed [[TheFairFolk fairy folklore]] preferred to use {{Talking Animal}}s instead. The name of the genre can be traced to Madame d'Aulnoy's ''Les Contes de Fées'', which appeared only after literary fairy tales became all the rage. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Folklorists prefer to describe these stories using the German word ''märchen'', which is usually translated to English as "fairy tale" or "fairy story", but a better translation might be "wonder story." Several extremely popular tales such as [[Creator/CharlesPerrault Perrault]]'s "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty" did feature fairies, helping give weight to the name, while others like "Literature/{{Rumpelstiltskin}}" and "Literature/KateCrackernuts" alluded to [[OurFairiesAreDifferent a more sinister kind]] of [[TheFairFolk folkloric fairies]]. On the other hand, Perrault's "Cinderella" is an odd-ball; normally the Cinderella figure is helped by [[OurGhostsAreDifferent her dead mother]], and "Sleeping Beauty" is as likely to be a victim of prophecy as a {{curse}}). Many, such as "Literature/{{Rapunzel}}", "Literature/PussInBoots", "Literature/HanselAndGretel", and "Literature/SnowWhite", contain no such figures. Fairy tales ''may'' include creatures from folklore such as [[OurGoblinsAreDifferent goblins]], [[WickedWitch witches]], and [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragons]], but they don't have to. Likewise, they ''may'' include magic, but they don't have to. Some, like "Literature/{{Bluebeard}}", contain no supernatural elements at all. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | What fairy tales ''do'' share is a distinct and consistent set of narrative conventions. They usually take place "{{once upon a time}}", with few (if any) references to real people, places or events. They are typically told in an extremely spare and laconic style, using archetypical characters and locations that require the audience to fill in the details with their own imagination. Even the [[PimpedOutDress fancy dresses]] the heroine [[SheCleansUpNicely wears to a ball]] are discussed briefly; "[[RuleOfThree three dresses]], one as golden as the sun, one as silvery as the moon, and one as bright as the stars" and the story goes on. Likewise, characters are defined by their actions. When motives are provided (which is only for human characters), they are short and simple: the heroine is out to find her fortune; the hero wants to marry the princess; the WickedStepmother is {{greed}}y and doesn't want her stepchild to have an inheritance, or [[GreenEyedMonster envious]] of her beauty, or if she has a stepson, destroy his wife; the [[FakeUltimateHero false hero]] wants to marry the princess; the king falls in love with the strange woman he meets in the woods because of her beauty. And motives may not be provided at all; in [[Creator/TheBrothersGrimm the Grimms']] "Literature/TheTwelveDancingPrincesses", we never find out why the princesses are going to the nightly dances, and indeed never discover whether they are doing so voluntarily or not. The limits between a fairy tale and {{Legend}}s, {{Fable}}s or epic poetry are blurred, but overall, it is considered that fairy tales can be distinguished from legends and epics for usually not exploring any specific real events, beliefs, locations and/or people, being more timeless and able to happen in several places. Furthermore, fables, differently from fairy tales, mainly focus on delivering and illustrating moral lessons and often feature anthropomorphic animals, inanimate objects, plants and forces of nature as characters. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | "Fairy tale" is often used in modern times to depict an idealized romance or ending, but this is largely a result of {{Disneyfication}}. Many classic fairy tales are quite dark in their original form, and a few are outright horrific. Heroes may be the victims of [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence such violence]] as having hands chopped off or eyes gouged out; at the end of the story, villains may be [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath disposed of]] by such methods as having them [[Literature/SnowWhite wear red-hot shoes and dance until they die]] or [[Literature/TheGooseGirl putting them in a barrel lined with nails and having a horse drag it until they die]]. The spare style helps minimize the impact, as it can deal with the violence briefly and without gory detail, but even so many fairy tales have produced NightmareFuel. In some cases, this is intentional, to ScareEmStraight. In many others, however, the reason why they were so much darker and more adult than later versions is simply because some of such folktales were never intended for children in the first place, but for adults, only being associated with ChildrensLiterature after being removed from their folkloric roots and portrayed as children's stories by the end of the 18th century. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | Fairy tales are found in cultures all over the world. Many tale types have wide-spread variants. However, [[SmallReferencePools only a tiny handful of them are widely known]] in modern culture. Consequently, when a writer goes to rewrite a fairy tale into FracturedFairyTale, with parody or subversion, it generally invokes one of that handful. For instance, the FairyGodmother is a relatively rare figure in fairy tales, but having featured in "Literature/{{Cinderella}}" and "Literature/SleepingBeauty", is epidemic in the FracturedFairyTale. Even [[TwiceToldTale retellings]] that do not parody the fairy tales generally stick to the best known. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | We know that fairy tales are OlderThanDirt because clearly recognizable fairy tales turn up, occasionally, in written form as far back as there has been writing. A 2016 Linguistic study suggested that two ("the Boy steals the Ogre's Treasure' (''Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk'' in English) and various FaustianBargain stories) date back to the very beginnings of civilization (3500-4500 B.C.E.). The story of Jason and Medea is a form of "The girl helps the hero flee" like ''Literature/TheWhiteDove''; a whole cycle of ChivalricRomance are tales of "The girl without hands" like ''Literature/TheOneHandedGirl''. However, many of these are also clearly written in literary form, and the others may also be far removed from the orally told tales of their time. Nor were they distinguished from other types of story. Giambattista Basile's ''The Pentamerone'' in 1634 (or so) was the first collection to contain only what we would recognize as fairy tales, but heavily rewritten into a literary style. Creator/TheBrothersGrimm were the first to even try to save the folk version, and all tales collected from the oral tradition post-date theirs. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Fairy tales were originally intended for all ages, but for a long period of time, they were only written or presented as children's stories. Disney is rather famous for adapting fairy tales into [[TheMovie movie]] [[TheMusical musicals]], [[{{Disneyfication}} often with changes to make them more light-hearted]]. Writers who seek to restore fairy tales to their original intensity may intensify it to the point of {{Grimmification}}. |
