Abstract
Ambivalence of Antiheroes in Modern Film Fairy Tales for Children
Highlights
Fairy tales have been organically woven into the process of educating children since ancient times
The protagonist is opposed by an antihero, i.e. the antagonist is entering into a fight against the protagonist" (Knigin, 2006)
It seems to us a valuable opportunity to use a theoretically sound structural diagram of the functions of the text of a fairy tale to analyze the narrative of modern film tales
Summary
Fairy tales have been organically woven into the process of educating children since ancient times. Since the 18th century AD, fairy tales have begun to rise scientific interest. After the publication of the collections of fairy tales by Charles Perrault, Brothers Grimm, it became obvious that the same plots in dozens of variants are repeated in French, Russian, German, Italian, etc. A historical scientific interest in the origin and migration of fairy tales arose. The fairy tale helps to develop the inner world of the child, teaches him/her to distinguish between good and evil, and is used by modern psychologists as a therapeutic tool. The victory of good over evil, faith in positive heroes are integral attributes of a fairy tale narrative. In media texts of the 21st century (including feature and animated films), it happens that a character who has traditionally embodied evil, suddenly performs the functions of good, and vice versa
