Tamari Burnadze

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of Roald Dahl's children's book ‘The fantastic Mr. Fox’, based on
the identification and interpretation of fairy tale archetypes within the work.

The aim of the article is to investigate, based on the analyzed material, the significance of the
archetypal elements in Dahl's children's book and their connection to the fairy tales of different
cultures. Additionally, the research seeks to determine the transformation of fairy tale archetypes from
the folk tales of various cultures to Dahl's work, identifying which archetype is most prominent and
which country's fairy tales exhibit the greatest similarities.

Keywords: archetypes, fairy tale archetypes, world folk tales, the fox as a symbol, Roald Dahl.
