Several important social functions are considered in fairy tales: national and supranational (Slavic) imaginary, Christian values, and patriarchal order. These social functions are analyzed in individual fairy tales, considering the thesis of Dutch scientist André Jolles that the primary social function of fairy tales is to express the community’s idea of justice and injustice.20222026-07-13 13:19:38Delo ni kategorizirano31117slImetniki avtorskih pravic na prispevkih so avtorji.
