INSTRUÇÃO: Leia o texto 2 e responda as perguntas:
***
Throughout history fairy tales have been women’s
stories, passed down orally by the mothers and
grandmothers. Fairy tales and their relatives, myth
and folklore, have always been tied in with women’s
wisdom and power. The teller of the tales were often
the older women, passing on experience to the young,
telling tales that outlined social functions and places,
which saw that the virtuous can be rewarded, and
adversity can be overcome. While people worked at
boring tasks, tales would be told. While the voices of
the women were unheard politically, they were passing
on knowledge to the young. In times of political
censorship, where women had few rights, fairy tales
were one way that they could make their opinions
known. The fairies themselves in the tales often
symbolize the aristocrats, having power over many
but often caring little, fighting among themselves,
concerned with power struggles. The heroines
comment on the double standards of the times,
arranged marriages, and the false glory of war. The
tales also illustrate the authors’ ideas on the standards
of correct manners, justice and love.
