The Shadow: Fairy Tale or Horror Story? | Danish Fairy Tale

Описание: Join me as I discuss the Hans Christen Anderson story, The Shadow. This eerie tale describes the life of a scholar who loses his shadow, only to have it reappear to him as a wealthy, human man. The longer time goes on, the more the shadow becomes overbearing...

In this video I go over the story, then discuss my ideas about the message and significance (including the characteristics of fairy tales and doppelgangers). I hope you enjoy my theories and share your own!
