로알 달의 동화 비틀어 읽기

Abstract

This thesis aims to explore the strategy of Roald Dahl to appropriate the already established fairy tales. With his intellectual approaches, he disintegrates the traditional concept such as filial love, frugality, and sincerity even though he eventually arrives at the same conclusion as common fairly tales. Dahl was chosen as a favorite writer in Britain. But his works have raised controversy about their validity of theme as a literature for children. One of the distinguishing features in his works is the naked expression of violence. Violence is the means of awakening readers to recognize the hidden or potential evil in everyday life. His view of soceity, his contempt for corrupt authority figures, and his distrust of the established system have made his works popular with various kinds of readers.
