Characteristics of Andersen's fairy tales in different periods

Early fairy tales are full of beautiful fantasy and optimistic spirit, which embodies the combination of realism and romanticism. Representative works include Light Box, Little Flower, Thumbelina, Daughter of the Sea, Wild Swan, Ugly Duckling, The Emperor's New Clothes and so on.

In the middle fairy tale, the fantasy component is weakened and the reality component is relatively enhanced. In lashing ugliness and praising beauty, it shows the persistent pursuit of a better life, and also reveals the melancholy mood of lack of self-confidence. Representative works include Little Match Girl, Dairy Queen, Shadow, A Drop of Water, Mother's Story and Puppet Actor.

Fairy tales in the later period are more realistic than those in the middle period, focusing on describing the tragic fate of the bottom people and exposing the coldness and darkness of social life and the injustice of the world. The tone of the work is low. Representative works include Dream under the Willow, She is a Waste, Nightcap of a Bachelor and Lucky Beauty.
