A field research on subliminal messages hidden in fairy tales from the eyes of the storyteller

Fairy tales are one of the most popular folk narratives of World Literature and Turkish Literature, being the continuation of myths from the very ancient periods of human history. In all societies, whether settled or nomadic, fairy tales are one of the preferred literary methods in the formation of society's value judgments and their transmission from generation to generation. While power was distributed between male and female characters in myths from different cultures, after the transformation of myths into fairy tales, power was attributed to men. Today, the heroes of fairy tales consist of animals, humans and supernatural beings; The events take place in the land of fairy tales and are born from the common past of the people; passed from mouth to mouth, from generation to generation; Although it seems to be one of the oral folk literature products in which some imaginary events are told, as a result of the masculine society, women in fairy tales are characters who are seen and fictionalized as having weaker physical and personality characteristics and in need of help or rescue. In this research, the aim of this research is to seek an answer to the question of what kind of perception the male-dominated language used in fairy tales, which portrays women as weak, creates on the society's view of women through the eyes of the storytellers.
