Summary

Marie-Louise Franz: Shadow and Evil in Fairy Tales

Fairy tales, as philosophers, anthropologists, psychologists and psychoanalysts have long known, are a first-class source for studying human nature, his basic emotional and spiritual problems, motives, aspirations, goals and internal conflicts. That's why Marie-Louise Franz, a respected representative of Jung's analytical psychology, already says in her "Introduction": "I consider fairy tales to be archetypal models of human behavior and the best instrument for explaining psychological problems". The archetypal figure of the Shadow represents the personification of the unacknowledged parts of our self, those unconscious aspects of it that could be part of it, but are not because they are perceived as immoral, shameful, inferior, rusty. The shadow is "that dark, repressed and unlived side of the ego-complex".

Christianity, and even more so the uncritical optimism of pro/enlightenment, underestimated the dimensions and power of evil and thus disarmed us and made us helpless before the forces of darkness. This false and superficial optimism is strongly opposed by the "realistic wisdom of fairy tales", which bravely looks evil straight in the eyes.

Fairy tales are so important for raising children and developing moral awareness because they contain precious rules of conduct for how to manage wisely in the face of evil, how to deal with it. In truth, there are no universal rules that one would have to follow blindly. Sometimes evil must be opposed directly and harshly, and sometimes, on the other hand, it must be endured for a long time, until the appropriate, favorable moment. Sometimes you have to use it to fight with cunning, even deception, lies, and sometimes only honorably, with the truth, at the cost of suffering. Everything depends on the context and circumstances. But, what is important, at the end of the fairy tale evil is destroyed and defeated by honesty, kindness, strength, intelligence and ingenuity. In any case, there is no fairy tale where the hero reconciles with evil or becomes evil himself.
