Matildas World and the Real One

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring the theme of children's literature, this essay examines how fictional worlds offer children the opportunity to transcend their real-life limitations. Unlike their actual circumstances, where they lack control, these narratives empower young characters to become heroes and shape their destinies. The author questions the nature of these fictional realms—whether they serve as mere imitations of reality or as liberating spaces where children confront challenging tasks to achieve freedom. The analysis highlights the contrast between children's struggles and their potential for existential growth in literature.
