Aim- How do fairy tales juxtaposed against ancient tales highlight the evolution of
language, as well as the classic theme of love conquering all?
Do now? What does it take to love someone? (This can be romantic, filial, pets,
whatever you love hard.)
I believe that love is not a concrete emotion or feeli Nd and that it is takes different
things for different people to fall in love.
Psyche (noun): The human soul, mind or spirit
Zephyr (Noun): A gentle, light breeze
Do the tales create the language, or does the language create the tales?
In my opinion the language creates the tales because without language spreading the
stories would be impossible. I believe that one of if not they most important part of a tale
is the way it spread by word of mouth.
Review the tale of Cupid and Psyche
Review the Grimm’s Cinderella. Compare the literature
Both stories have a common lesson that love is worth fighting for and that there are no
boundaries in love. Both couples face trial and tribulation but overcome it to find each other.
Why do these themes seem to transcend time?
These stories tend to transcend time because they have simple morals that are common
throughout time. Although the stories are in a very different time and aren't very similar
between each other, their morals are similar and lifelong. They will apply as long as man
lives,as it is a basic human lesson. Love is not defined by class, position, or background.
We started class with a lengthy debate on what it take to truly love someone.
Kelly said that she believed that love meant that a person would be willing to sacrifice
anything for the person they loved.
Steven added that he felt that as human beings love is more a fluid feeling that revolves
around sacrificing anything for love.
Cornelia said that she thought love is just an emotion that can be triggered by certain
things to certain people
I agreed with Steven but how did that I think that love is not a concrete feeling and can be
different for anyone. I added that sometime we love someone and can’t express or
acknowledge a reason why we love them.
We then spoke about the power of words and language. We discussed what was more
Important the tale or the language behind the tale. I believe that the language
itself of more important for the spread of lessons and morals through word of
mouth stories.
We then read a… darker version of Cinderella
