THE MOTIVES OF DEATH AND AFTERLIFE IN HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN’S FAIRY TALES

Summary/Abstract: Observed from a strictly Christian worldview, and at the same time presented in the way which suits the possibilities of child’s understanding of basic moral and spiritual values, the topic of death in Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales occupies the central place in his concept of man as a spiritual being. Interpretations of Andersen’s fairy tales within the key of the Christian attitude to death as a way for a possible salvation, throw a new, stronger light on the motives of afterlife and travel of the soul to the other world; all that aims at the final and total return to the essence of the Christian teaching: that the only purpose of man’s existence is his resurrection.
