Children can identify with fairy tale characters; they imagine themselves as heroes, capable of slaying dragons, or simpletons, demonstrating superiority over intelligent people. Fairytale-based fantasies are an extremely important part of children's lives, and this is not only because they describe threatening situations that resemble the main fears of a young child such as fear of getting lost, fear of wrong decisions, fear of monsters or animals wicked. The happy ending, always present in fairy tales, gives children the security that, despite all their fears, they will win in the end. This knowledge helps them prepare for life's challenges, regardless of whether they are real or imagined (Doughty, 2006). Knowing the importance of fairy tales for the inner world of the child, it is easy to understand why fairy tale motifs play such an important role even in the minds of adults: they are nourished by fairy tales. The tale of “Gemini” makes an important contribution in this field: the author shows that many people follow fairy tales in life. Fairytale motifs are crucial for the formation of personality in both a positive and negative sense. These reasons have a profound effect on self-esteem and outlook which usually play an important role during the decision-making process
