Significance of various themes in Fairytales :)

Vague settings

Vauge settings are used in nearly every fairytale. It may be places such as 'far far away' or 'forests'
By using these names instead of places, perhaps is used to highlight it's distance from life and a place no one can visit. It also detaches you from anysort of reality of the tale, making you look upon it as nothing more than a myth. However these vauge settings allow the writer to make that place into anything they like. A place with, for example, talking animals or an enchanted creatures...  GRRRRR I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO :(
