Fables !

In Fairy Tales the most important message is the fact that all these mystical creatures have been torn from their home land and they want to go back. All the characters are now living in modern day New York. This is very uncomfortable and makes these fairy tale characters feel unhappy with their lives because everything is totally different.

When you first think fairy tales you think of all these magical creatures and characters living in these wonderful kingdoms and being happily ever after. I pictured them all living happily ever after, but never thought of how they would be if things took a turn in their lives. For example in the comic book the big bad wolf is no longer blowing down little piggy's houses which is in his nature!. Instead he is living with a pig in his apartment, trying to make up for the fact that he tried to kill the pig and feels guilty. He's not even a wolf for that matter instead he has to look like a grown man to adapt to his new city and life as a detective in fable town. It seems as though the wolf likes his career, but he doesn't seem to happy about the fact he can't hunt and do the vicious things he could do before. Also when Bluebeard is attacking Jack in the cell you see this big bad wolf go from a tough man to a large wolf that you would see only in fairy tale land not New York. Which meant that none of these characters could actually walk around in their very own skin because their in modern day and animals don't roam around the city of New York so it's basically like their wearing a mask all the time. This is a horrible thing because they always have to hide and they can't truly live like this forever.

Not only were these fairy tale characters torn from their land and had to live in modern day New York, but they were almost all torn from their riches and lands making them from wealthy people to almost middle class people. Losing all their riches changed a lot of the fairy tale characters. For instance Beauty and the Beast who owned a whole land with a beautiful castle had to leave that all behind and begin to get accommodated with not having none of their riches. This made Bell very frustrating to be around, and caused the beast to slowly start turning from a human to the beast he was before. Also Prince Charming who was one of the riches princes around was so poor he had to try to go ahead and bail out on a restaurant bill. Not only that but many of these characters had to go work off in bad jobs like cleaning floors and apartment complexes just like little boy blue. All of these fairy tale characters have become cheaters also Prince charming and Jack from Jack and the beanstalk. Both of these guys try to scam other fairy tale characters just to get back millions, and they don't care who their stealing from. Although Jack has always been a scam, but this time he gets arrested for it. In fairy world Jack could get away from the Giant and run away with the magic beans, but the big bad wolf put him in his place in fables. Being close to broke made these fairy tale characters desperate and begin to do things every man for himself.

At the end of the day all the fairy tale characters had to accommodate to New York and they faced many challenges doing so. Many of these characters changed who they really where.
