Abstract
The object of this article is to indicate how a fairy tale affects the education and development of a pre-school child from the aspect of the characters, namely heroes and heroines, in an oral-literary and film fairy tale. Heroes of oral fairy tales, owing to their great ability to adapt, have transited into artistic fairy tales and fantastic stories, and from the language medium into other types of media: comics, film and computer games. A strict division of characters into good and bad offers children information on the primordial presence of evil, the necessity to take sides and the hope that the persistent and wise can defeat evil. A fairy tale teaches the child positive characteristics (patience, devotion, veracity) and how to cope with or suppress negative characteristics (greed, jealousy, deceit, avarice). It will offer the first cognition of fear, love and the feeling of victory. A fairy tale is the first home of emotional intelligence. Playing gives children the possibility of identification and conversion into somebody they admire, and division into good and bad, heroes and antiheroes, a clear model to imitate. Through creative playing children contrive new situations, scenes and plots, they develop their motor and speech abilities, learn to solve problems and overcome obstacles and to cooperate with others and they learn love, empathy, truth and justice.
