单选题Plato—who may have understood better what forms the mind of man than do some of our con- temporaries who want their children exposed only Line to "real" people and everyday events—knew (5) what intellectual experiences make for true humanity. He suggested that the future citizens of his ideal republic begin their literary education with the telling of myths, rather than with mere facts or so-called rational teachings. Even (10) Aristotle, master of pure reason, said: "The friend of wisdom is also a friend of myth." Modem thinkers who have studied myths and fairy tales from a philosophical or psychological viewpoint arrive at the same conclusion, regard- (15) less of their original persuasion. Mircea Eliade, for one, describes these stories as "models for human behavior [that], by that very fact, give meaning and value to life." Drawing on anthro- pological parallels, he and others suggest that (20) myths and fairy tales were derived from, or give symbolic expression to, initiation rites or rites of passage—such as metaphoric death of an old, inadequate self in order to be reborn on a higher plane of existence. He feels that this is why these (25) tales meet a strongly felt need and are carriers of such deep meaning. Other investigators with a depth-psychological orientation emphasize the similarities between the fantastic events in myths and fairy tales and !those (30) in adult dreams and daydreams—the fulfillment of wishes, the winning out over all competitors, the destruction of enemies—and conclude that one attraction of this literature is its expression of that which is normally prevented from coming to (35) awareness, There are, of course, very significant differ- ences between fairy tales and dreams. For ex- ample, in dreams more often than not the wish fulfillment is disguised, while in fairy tales much (40) of it is openly expressed. To a considerable degree, dreams are the result of inner pressures which have found no relief, of problems which beset a person to which he knows no solution and to which the dream finds none. The fairy tale (45) does the opposite: it projects the relief of all pres- sures and not only offers ways to solve problems but promises that a "happy" solution will be found. We cannot control what goes on in our dreams. (50) Although our inner censorship influences what we may dream, such control occurs on an uncon- scious level. The fairy tale, on the other hand, is very much the result of common conscious and unconscious content having been shaped by the (55) conscious mind, not of one particular person, but the consensus of many in regard to what they view as universal human problems, and what they accept as desirable solutions. If all these elements were not present in a fairy tale, it would not be (60) retold by generation after generation. Only if a fairy tale met the conscious and unconscious requirements of many people was it repeatedly retold, and listened to with great interest. No dream of a person could arouse such persistent (65) interest unless it was worked into a myth, as was the story of the pharaoh' s dream as interpreted by Joseph in the Bible.
