Summary/Abstract: Fairy tales of the 19th and 20th century have their origin in traditional stories, and traditional and contemporary stories share common features. These stories, remembered over the ages, reveal the core of people’s deepest experience and the key to discovering timeless truths. This paper considers direct correlations between traditional and modern stories, both of which deal with collective experiences and the projection of people’s unconscious visions and hidden desires. Also, this paper explores discrepancies between approaches of classical and contemporay fairy tales to the world they describe, to different ways of shaping a story, and to different ideas about time and place and about humans and the supernatural.
