There are no forces greater than love and kindness (based on H.K. Andersen's fairy tale “The Snow Queen”)
Andersen Hans Christian

The victory of love and good over evil is the main theme of Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen". The famous storyteller claims that the power of love and the feeling of sincere friendship can create miracles.

Small children are the main characters of the fairy tale "Snow Queen". Kai and Gerda have been friends for a long time. They liked each other so much that they were willing to go to great lengths for the sake of friendship. It so happened that Gerdy had to show all the strength of his character. Kai was captured by the Snow Queen against his own will. He could not get rid of the enchanted piece of ice on his own, which turned him into a callous, irritable and arrogant boy. Kai does not understand his own wretchedness. Gerda knew him to be benevolent, handsome, and friendly. She believed that his virtues would return to Kai. He just needed to help him a little.

Gerda's kindness and her ardent faith in saving Kai helped her overcome many difficulties on the way to her goal. Meetings with different people enriched her experience. She became smarter. Gerda could not be made stronger by good charms, she did not need them, because her strength was real, not artificial.

It is true feelings that Andersen sings in his fairy tale. She teaches us to do good, not to leave our friends in trouble, and to always go to our goal. You should not be afraid of difficulties and trials, because they only harden character and will.

I really liked Andersen's fairy tale "The Snow Queen". I realized that love and good always triumph over evil.
