Abstract

The expression "fairy-tale reality" is an oxymoron, because the idea that a fairy tale is something unrealistic, impossible and knowingly false has entrenched in the minds of people. A fairy tale in the form in which it exists today is a fantastic genre that modern writers combine with other genres and get new literary forms and plots. A series of novels by J. Rowling about Harry Potter, “The Lord of the Rings” by R. Tolkien, “Song of Ice and Fire” by J. Martin are modern bestsellers. No one believes in the reality of what is described in these books, but from this they do not lose popularity. The thing is that at the heart of storylines, characters and conflicts are archetypes and mythologies familiar to us from childhood. This once again proves people's interest in everything inexplicable.
