Aladdin

Aladdin is a different type of fairy tale hero than we find in Eurpoean tales such as Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. The young men and women in these tales are good people trapped in sad circumstances. The Beast is a prince held captive by a witch's spell. Cinderella is trapped in a loveless home and the princess in Sleeping Beauty is put to sleep for a hundred years by a spiteful fairy. Love transforms their lives. Aladdin has more in common with the resourceful cat in Puss in Boots. Aladdin is a street urchin who uses his wits to beg, borrow and steal to survive. He uses his cunning to defeat an evil wizard and gain a great power and fortune. He finds a great ally in a cave in a discarded lamp. A powerful genie who is pledged to serve him. Aladdin does not triumph because of the attribute of moral goodness. He triumphs with his brain. Nevertheless his story is a rag to riches story like Cinderella. A common pick pocket rising to rule a kingdom. We have some more information on Aladdin on our website. Check out the links below.
