Fairy Tales and Societal Norms

Write a fairytale that challenges or subverts societal norms.

The aim of this prompt is to evaluate and challenge societal norms, using fairytales as a medium to do so. Try writing a fairytale where the princess doesn’t need saving or where the villain has redeeming qualities. This task not only encourages rewriting stereotypical narratives but also highlights the importance of representation and diversity in literature. Ask how these shifts impact the overall narrative, tone, and morals of the story.
