I think the most important element of a fairy tale is the hope it gives us. There are so many fairy tales, and they come in so many different versions, that it’s difficult to separate out a single important element, but almost all fairy tales teach that if you’re clever and compassionate, you’ll be all right in the end. You may end up marrying a polar bear, or going on a journey to the land behind the sun and moon, or bribing an ogress, but in the end you’ll come out all right. Fairy tales usually teach us that happiness is achievable, sometimes by luck, but usually by our own wits and hard work. — my dear and insightful friend Theodora Goss
