Little wonders. As people grow up they grow out of fairytales. The fairytales that we are told when we are little as supposed to teach us about notions as courage, sacrifice, love, but not all of them are empowering for both genres. Princesses are supposed to wait for the arrival of a brave knight and often are portrayed as being fragile, naive or even asleep (just think of Snow White and the Sleeping Beauty). The incumbent idea of salvation/rescue makes them weak, passive. The greatest gift they possess is their beauty. It is true, nonetheless, that in recent years a new prototype of young girl/woman began to be seen more frequently in Disney productions for example. But it is only a budding concept. What I appreciate in a fairytale is thus, not the feminine portrayal of the main character, but the sense of wonder and magic and the idea of everlasting love.
