COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT VARIANTS OF SEVERAL FAIRY TALES BY GRIMM AND PERRAULT

Summary/Abstract: As a special genre in which there is no boundary between reality and imagination, and good always wins, the fairy tale has always attracted a wide circle of readers, regardless of their age. This is especially the case of the so-called creators of classical or artistic fairy tales such as Charles Perrault and the Grimm brothers. According to the Primary School Curriculum and the Elementary School Program (2006) in Croatia, the list of obligatory fairy tales for the first grade of primary school contains the selection of fairy tales by the Grimm brothers. The list for the second grade offers fairy tales by Charles Perrault. The aim of this paper is to compare the variants of five Perrault and Grimm fairy tales, namely Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, Thumbling and Puss in Boots. After a detailed comparison of the available editions of these fairy tales, their comparison will be based on the thematic-motive stratification, the characterization of the main characters and character-assistants, the presence of violence, the ending and other structural forms of the fairytale. In addition to the comparison of the fairytales by Perrault and Grimm brothers, there will be the diachronic changes in the different editions compared and analyzed accordingly.
