The witch must die

The witch must die The story of fairy tale witches in the psychological and mental growth of children What makes fairy tale witches always impressive? Why do generations of children continue to hear or read stories of Hansel and Gretel or the Snow Queen or Cinderella? The book "The Witch Must Die" explores how fairy tale witches help children and give them opportunities to deal with their psychological struggles represented by their internal conflicts between good and evil, and compares the battles of characters in different stories and their suffering. There is no doubt that Romilestelsken, Pinocchio, and Rumpelstiltskin represent lust, envy, greed, and laziness in a moderate theatrical manner that allows children to face the reality of their "deadly sins." Dr. Sheldon Cashdan, Professor of Psychology at the University of Massachusetts, in this book, offers a wonderful analysis of how fairy tales strike the strings of children's core worries, and at the same time highlights the role played by characters or symbolic objects, such as the glass slipper, gingerbread houses, and evil stepmothers with their magic and spells, in weaving and building those stories. The author also shows how fairy tales vary from culture to culture, and how these classic fairy tales transform into "Disney" commercial atmospheres, and the reason why these stories have a strange submissive effect on older readers when they show admiration and interest in them, as well as their effect on other age groups, especially children, when they are told and listened to with great admiration.
