About This Quote
The power of fairy tales is in their ability to make us believe that all sorts of terrible things happen in the world, but nothing is ever permanent. Fairy tales are usually quite simple in their structure. There is a protagonist, or heroine, who falls in love with a hero. Trouble comes along and the two must work together to overcome it. The result is often a happily-ever-after ending, where everything turns out just fine.
