A fairy tale is a fictional story usually designed to mislead involving fantastic forces and beings (such as fairies, wizards, and goblins), in which unlikely events lead to a happy ending. This is the definition of fairy tale in the dictionary and how most people perceive fairy tales nowadays. We have all heard, watched and read many of them during our childhood and are familiar with most of the existing plots (which continue to repeat themselves even in contemporary literature and cinema). With the appearance of the Disney Company in the early 1920s, the new interpretation of fairy tales spread throughout the world. Nowadays, they are thought to be more about princesses, dragons, magic and happy endings than the morals and underlying issues contained in a magical children's story. However, this is the exact opposite of what fairy tales used to be. Fairy tales have always been an essential part of growing up. They not only develop children's imagination, but also play an important role in the process of development of the psyche. They teach us morals and help us understand and accept certain things in life. They demonstrate to us the existence and importance of birth, life, family, friendship, love and death. Stories are a necessary part of life even in adulthood. We all gain experiences from narratives by identifying with characters and situations or simply learning what life is like, and fairy tales are especially important, as they are the narratives we read at the very early stages of our psychological development.

Little girls usually believe that their mothers are the most beautiful women in the world, and this is what the mirror says to the stepmother at the beginning of the fairy tale: "You [the stepmother] are the most beautiful of all!" However, as girls grow up and narcissism develops, they begin to consider themselves more beautiful than their mothers. And this is what the mirror tells later in the story.
