SOCIAL FUNCTIONS OF THE FAIRY TALE COLLECTION CROATIAN TALES OF LONG AGO BY IVANA BRLIĆ-MAŽURANIĆ

The paper analyzes the fairy tale collection Croatian Tales of Long Ago by the Croatian author Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić, interpreting its social functions. Several important social functions are considered in fairy tales: national and supranational (Slavic) imaginary, Christian values, and patriarchal order. These social functions are analyzed in individual fairy tales, considering the thesis of Dutch scientist André Jolles that the primary social function of fairy tales is to express the community’s idea of justice and injustice.
