Myth and Fairy Tale Elements in Contemporary Adult Fiction: Some Aspects

Abstract:

The thesis focuses on the interconnection between literature for children and literature for adults. It attempts to examine certain patterns, structures and elements characteristic of childrens literature and demonstrate how these elements are used and the way they work in adults fiction.The work includes a detailed analysis of two pieces of adult fiction and examines the patterns, structures and elements of childrens literature they incorporate. It aims to prove that both fairy tales and myths still belong to the world of adult literature, and that it is in their capability to be changed, reshaped and transformed where their ongoing power and potential lies.
