Trixie: What’re you pissed off for?

Al: (rubbing his temples) I ain’t pissed off, I’m in fucking wonderment. I’m waitin’ to be kept happy by the next fuckin’ fairy tale.

Consider also:

  1. “The words of child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim (The Uses of Enchantment) are applicable here: ‘Each Fairy tale is a magic mirror which reflects some aspects of our inner world, and one of the steps required by our evolution from immaturity to maturity. For those who immerse themselves in what the fairy tale has to communicate, it becomes a deep, quiet pool which at first seems to reflect only our own image; but behind it we soon discover the inner turmoils of our soul — its depth, and ways to gain peace within ourselves and with the world, which is the reward of our struggles.'”
  2. “In order to make the soul into something more evolved and free, we need to work with it at the level of personal and collective memory (myth, folktale, and fairy tale).”

  5. “Father Vitus’s tale seemed too incredible to be true. Surely it was nothing more than the ravings of a few superstitious, uneducated villagers”
