Fairy tales and myths have a deeper meaning than entertaining the audience. They have both hidden and obvious purposes that intend to reveal certain messages. Fairy tales which are told to children may be created for helping children to get over childhood problems. For example, Bettelheim in "Cinderella: A Story of Sibling Rivalry and Oedipal Entanglements" supports that children face in a way the same problems with the heroine such as the sibling rivalry and Oedipal complex. When children read the story, they feel no more guilty for their bad feelings or miserable for their "mistreatment" and they are no more thinking of themselves as bad creatures. Fairy tales may also illustrate to children their role within the society. Such an idea is discussed in Kolbenschlag's article "A Feminist's View of Cinderella." The author argues that Cinderella creates gender stereotypes which provide women to be passive, while, on the contrary, men to be active. Myths, stories that attract people of all ages, also include messages. They interfere more with matters like the purpose of life or morality. For example, in "The Odyssey" where the hero managed to win gods' will and reached his homeland, his goal. A story which shows that strong will can overcome the supernatural no matter what. Although each fairy tale or myth has a different story, they all have messages which are expressed through the persons of a story. Except from writers, many psychologists have also examined myths and fairy tales. Carl Gustav Jung, a famous modern psychologist, believed that human nature is expressed through heroes and heroines.
             Carl Gustav Jung was born on July 26, 1875 in Kesswil, Switzerland. He was great knowledgeable of mythology, religion, and philosophy and especially in the symbolism of complex mystical traditions such as Gnosticism, Alchemy, Kabala, and similar traditions in Hinduism and Buddhism....
