Kristin showed small clusters of students, 52 in all, one of<br />

the three selections—The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and Beauty and<br />

the Beast—and asked them to discuss how these tales may have<br />

influenced the students’ expectations of life and love.<br />

Her results showed that the fairy tales had indeed left an<br />

impression that had been altered by hard realities. The fairy-<br />

tale messages of idyllic love, pristine endings, and triumphant<br />

goodness were now viewed with much skepticism by many<br />

students who had been raised during increasing marital breakups,<br />

job insecurity, and the moral ambiguities of war. “Everyone<br />

knows,” Kristin said of the fantasy world depicted in the movies,<br />

“that it’s not how things work.”<br />

End of story? Decidedly not. The other conclusion Kristin<br />

drew is that in spite of doubtful attitudes these memorable<br />

stories had a positive effect. Though shorn of much of their<br />

magical powers, the fairy tales remain an important leaven and<br />

a source of hope. They may be unrealistic but there remains<br />

something real about them worth holding. Based on her findings,<br />

Kristin believes the tales do help prevent further collapse into<br />

negativity. They act as a modest buffer.<br />

Kristin summed up the paradox by linking two insights. As<br />

real depictions of life, she said, “the students ripped the movies<br />

to shreds.” At the same time, she added, “to a person they’d<br />

show them to their kids.”<br />
