...And they lived happily ever after...

Abstract

It has been difficult to define the title of this article, because it had to translate, in some way, an essential aspect of what is being proposed here.

It has caught our attention why in the most fashionable children's stories, such a basic and fundamental issue as marriage is raised, in such simple terms and so far from reality.

This disconnection between fiction and reality could be accepted only as an idealization, or perhaps a remembrance of what this relationship constituted in earthly paradise. This transfer of the past would then be attributable to the collective unconscious, which man does not want to lose and which clings to it as a salvageable ideal.
