Always in fairy tale characters are at the antipode - the hero of the fairy tale is good, while the negative character is evil. In the battle between good and evil, good always wins, fairy tale being a deeply moralizing construction. Heroes in fairy tales embodies positive characters. They may be of all social categories, may have supernatural powers or not, but are, without exception, beautiful, of high moral and ethical qualities.
