Fairy tales must include many elements in order for them to be successful and carry their message. Without those elements, the fairy tale seems boring and looses it's charm and meaning. The first of these is an element of magic. I think that this aspect is more vital to a fairy tale than any other. Magic keeps the reader entranced and interested. It also appeals to young children. Besides that, it takes a seemingly boring moral lesson, and disguises it in a way that seems fun, and makes you want to keep reading. Magic takes us out our everyday situation, and shows us a world where anything can happen. We are forced through the suspension of disbelief to believe anything that is presented to us. A frog can turn into a prince because of a kiss, and we don't question that, because anything is real in a world of magic. I think that without magic, fairy tales would not be the imaginative, entertaining, and educational tales that they are.
