Se avete adorato libri quali 'Donne che corrono coi lupi' e 'Il mondo incantato', 'Il femminile nella fiaba' dovrebbe essere la vostra prossima lettura. Vengono analizzate diverse fiabe in chiave psicanalitica e ancora una volta viene mostrato come le fiabe abbiano diversi livelli di lettura e come l'accusa che queste siano invecchiate male sia vera solo a metà. È vero, rispecchiano l'epoca in cui sono state prodotte, ma al tempo stesso molte di queste hanno per protagoniste delle eroine che trovano la propria strada per maturare nella loro versione migliore, dimostrando che non c'è una maniera univoca per affermarsi (il sonno che dura 100 anni della bella addormentata non vale di meno delle prove svolte da Vassilissa) e come le cosiddette cattive delle fiabe in realtà siano esempi di personaggi femminili a cui è mancata la possibilità di maturare - spesso per colpa della società che ostacola il processo di autocoscienza - oppure fanno le veci della Dea Madre, della Natura creatrice e distruttrice, incarnando sia il lato benigno che negativo del femminile, una combinazione che purtroppo il patriarcato ha deciso di eliminare condannando senza mezzi termini il lato negativo e terribile nonostante fosse una parte importante del femminile. Insomma, leggete questo libro, non ve ne pentirete!

It's interesting enough but all I'm going to say is that you can tell this was written in 1972 lol

I tried to enjoy this book, but unfortunately I just couldn't get into it. This book is completely different to what I thought it would be. I thought it would be a breakdown for female character archetypes present in classical fairy tales and a feminist few on them. Instead, von Franz presents a Carl Jung analysis and compares fairy tales to Greek and Roman mythological stories.

While I'm sure this is interesting to many people, I am not one of them. This book simply isn't what I expected to be, so I found it difficult to finish. Oop.
