Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to highlight some themes, directions and ethical aspects revealed by Andersen’s fairy tales, the conception of the world, our existence and its meaning. Andersen is a romantic who sees childhood as a pure, but fleeting and sometimes tragic age. Some critics spoke of metaphysical themes and his desire to draw the ideal of humanity but they also offer us a pretext for analysis and meditation.
