When we think about fairy tiles, what comes to mind are fairy godmothers, princesses trapped in towers, and princes who save them and live happily ever after. But where did the idea of the fairy tale begin and how did they evolve to what we know today? Did you know that fairy tales began as an oral tradition, told and passed down from generation to generation?
This class will explore the evolution of the fairy tale, beginning with defining characteristics of written fairy tales. Students will learn about famous and infamous fairy tale authors including Brothers Grimm, Hans Christin Andersen, Lewis Caroll and Charles Perrault. We will discuss fairy tales in film including Disney adaptations and more current fairy tales such as Shrek and Frozen.
We will also look at Broadway’s adaptation of the modern fairy tale, including Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Shrek the Musical and The Little Mermaid. Students will have the opportunity to read about and discuss their favorite fairy tale. Students will be able to compare and contrast the original fairy tales to modern day fairy tales. Be prepared to learn about the evolution of the fairy tale and have some fun! And that is the moral of the story!
