I think a lot of these stories would shape society negatively in 2 major ways:
- A dependent woman, particularly on a man
- Happy ending that aren't 100% guaranteed

The first part about my point is that these stories always show some sort of dependence on men as a key point in the story, like if they didn't exist, the 'princess' would live miserably. I feel that it sort of shows women in these cases as frail because shes waiting for her prince to come. I mean imagine if no one shows up, will she keep waiting forever? she really expects this guy to come and kiss her to somehow wake up and he does it in one go, perfectly. And of course, she wakes up. why did she need him for those activities to happen? Why couldn't she be an independent woman?

My second point is about happy endings always deceiving people. Most times the princess gets together with the prince and they live 'happily ever after', like who started that trend? Society would definitely be mad if fairy tales kept telling them that and they think they're gonna get that but instead they get a depressing or miserable life. These young people are taught that they're gonna live in a hakuna matata kingdom, basically a fool's paradise, so they don't work as hard or worry as hard because they know the ending will be bright. This would drag society backwards.

All in all, I don't really lean towards the side of disbelief because most people nowadays know it's fake so it doesn't matter as much. In addition, people are hitting reality quicker.

A fairy tale is a children's story about magical and imaginary beings in imaginary lands e.g Hansel and Gretel, Little red riding hood, Goldilocks and the three bears etc. If I were to be in one I think I would be in Rapunzel because I can relate with her struggle of having lots of hair. Also, I would be Rapunzel because our moms are quite similar, although I don't live in a tower. I 'let down my hair' to wash it. I could not really see prince charming coming because as large as it is, it's not that long to carry him up. I kind of feel like Rapunzel sometimes because when I don't leave my house I feel like her being trapped in the tower. During summer I did not go anywhere except driving school so I felt  trapped.
