Where to go from here…

I have finally finished the final draft that I will turn in as my research project. While I feel like I have accomplished a lot of reading, writing, and learning, I still think I could keep writing much much more. If I had more time, I would continue to read older versions of fairy tales, and expand upon the symbolism in the stories in order to make more cultural comments. I have presented a fairly thorough history of fairy tales and touched on a few writers and tales, but I feel like this is just the beginning! I recently discovered an intriguing essay writting by Charles Dickens called “Frauds on Fairies” that I found very fascinating. Apparantly, he was an avid supporter of fairy tales in his time. When I discovered this, my interest in the tales went up even more. I will certainly continue to read and write down my discoveries as I continue.

I am pretty satisfied with my conclusion, but more symbolism and cultural comments would definitely help make my paper stronger.
