A 6 page reaction paper to an essay by Aviva Layton, "Grim Fairy Tales and Gory Stories." Historical scholarship shows that children reading fairy tales (and similarly violent tales) has been considered controversial since around 1800 (Should children). There is a tendency for adults to want to protected children from what is deemed "ugly, illogical, violent or frightening" (Should children). In a well-reasoned and persuasive essay, Avina Layton counters this tendency and argues that fairy tales provide a necessary and psychologically constructive outlet for the subliminal needs of human beings, which includes children. Rather than protest against the violence in fairy tales, Layton protests against mediocrity and the misplaced protectionism of adults that would shield children from worthwhile children's literature. Examination of Layton's essay shows her argument to be sound, as it coincides with what is readily observable in popular culture and childhood behavior. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
