THE ANTHROPOMORPHIZED CAT FIGURE IN THE FAIRY TALE “PUSS IN BOOTS” BY THE GRIMM BROTHERS AND THE FAIRY TALE SERIES “PETTSON AND FINDUS” BY SVEN NORDQVIST

Summary/Abstract: The Anthropomorphized Cat Figure in the Fairy Tale “Puss in Boots” by the Grimm Brothers and the Fairy Tale Series “Pettson and Findus” by Sven Nordqvist. This paper attempts to bring together three scientific fields that have always fascinated fairy-tale researchers and readers: fairy tales, psychology and anthropology. Almost all fairy tales deal with central stages and problems of human life. Thus, fairy tales, psychology, as well as anthropology deal with themes that reflect the reality of one's own person. The selected areas, which are intended to make the given analysis possible, serve to describe the way of life of the human hero and their animal companion and to describe both of their character developments, which take place with the help and thanks to the animal. Grimms’ Fairy Tales were the most published written works in the world after the Bible and the Quran. During that time, Children's and Household Tales caught the attention of several authors of world literature; therefore, some fairy tales of this collection served as the basis for numerous literary’ fairy tales. With these considerations and for these reasons, this article aims to analyse and draw comparisons between the Grimm fairy tale Puss in Boots and the fairy tale series Pettson and Findus by the Swedish author Sven Nordqvist.
