"It is apparent to me that Greek, Roman and Norse mythology, as well as fairy tales and fables from all cultures, play a significant role in the evolution of modern fiction, especially plot. I undertook the study of this book to try to get a better handle on my own plot development and fiction writing. The information Bettelheim provides was indeed useful in this study."
"So far, this book is proving to be a fascinating investigation into fairy tales and child psychology. Jungian psychoanalysis seems to play a prominent role in the writer's analysis. And even though that writer, Bruno Bettelheim, is not without controversy, I am trying to read the work without allowing such controversies to color my interpretation."
"Are all psychiatrists obssessed with sex? This one certainly seemed to be. It would seem that all fairy folk tales (as he calls them)are telling us on a subconscious level how to grow up to become psychologically mature and have good sex lives. He has some valuable things to say, but he belabors his sexual ideas so these get drowned out. And he says that in the genre of animal/monstrous spouses, women are always beautiful animals while men are usually fierce and repulsive. I beg to differ: Bettelheim missed the Welsh tale of Sir Gawain and the Loathely Lady, in which it is the bride who is loathesome and monstrous.
I was looking for something that would give me more information on the history and development of fairy tales. Should have looked more carefully at the author's bio."
