self-sacrifice, passivity and dependency are two
virtues not widely portrayed in fairy tales.
Self-sacrifice can be found throughout fairy
tales. The tale of Donkeyskin has a young girl who
gives up her rich life to be able to leave her
incestuous father. She...

him when he was young. He therefore was usually
under his mother's influence. When he was a young
