Sometimes they’re interpreted as complex fables that reflect on our society, or as completely made up stories that provide comfort and escape. Either way, fairytales have always been around us. As we grow up we are told that fairytales are for kids, and more serious fantasy or sci-fi-themed stories are provided as a replacement. I think that fairytales are made for everyone, no matter your age. This summer while on an internship in the picturesque Slovenia, I had a chance to read some of my favourites again. When you come back to stories they will always reveal new depth and have something to offer you, such as Tolkien’s masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings. The theme is definitely recurring, in fairytales and in real life too. The good side, being represented by the hero, will overcome difficulties and win over the bad guys; be it Frodo and Sauron, or Churchill and Hitler. The question now is: do we have our hero to fight Mordor? Just make yourself a cup of tea, sit comfortably, and return to the world where everything is possible. Or put on a cape and be the hero.
