“Comparison of Russian and English Fairy Tales”
A fairy tale is a fictional story that may feature folkloric and enchantments, often
involving a far-fetched sequence of events.
Russian Folk Tales are interesting stories, telling about some incredible events.
English Folk Tales ( or fairy tales) are extremely different from our Russian fairy
tales.
Fairy tales written in English give us perception about myths, legends, ballads and
also they tell us about the most interesting elements of culture of this country.
Animals are often main characters in Russian and in English stories. In many
tales, they are highly intelligent and able to communicate with people. More often
we can find there a hen, a bear, a hare, as for negative characters, they are foxes
and wolves.
