In the theoretical part of the thesis, young literature is described, followed by a more detailed presentation of Slovene and Serbian youth literature. The guidelines and goals of literary education in kindergarten are also described.
In the second part of the thesis, the definition and classification of fairy tales is presented. The folk fairytale and various theories of studying the folk fairy tale (folklore, structuralism, literary, psychoanalytical, sociological, feminist and post culturalism theory) are presented in greater detail.
In the third part, the Swiss literary scientist Max Lüthi and his European fairytale are presented. His five characteristics of the model of the folk fairytale are described – one-dimensionality, flatness, abstract style, isolation, universal connection, sublimation and all-inclusion. Slovenian and Serbian folk fairytales and H. J. Uther's index are also described, according to which we are classifying fairytales.
The empirical part of the thesis includes a comparative analysis of three Slovene and three Serbian folk tales, which are two by two in ATU index. The comparative analysis is based on Lüthi's literary theory of studying fairytales.
The aim of the thesis is to identify and illustrate how Slovene and Serbian fairytales are similar and in which they differ, given that they are two countries that are close together from a global perspective.
