why are fairytales made

Fairytales are made because it speaks to a tradition in our culture of being human. In our culture we often have great epic stories that awe and inspire. As with the telephone game some elements can be lost in those stories as they're retold so this is where archetypes come in. An archetype is like a theme. If you wanted a clown-like birthday party its archetype would be clown! (however they usually describe personality traits or cultural traits) So we have great epic stories like the Gilgamesh and the Oddyssey stories. They are used to awe and inspire whole ages of people. Inspire for what you might ask, whatever you may dream! & fairytales are smaller versions of these great epics. Like introducing your toes to the cool water ever so slowly.
