Modern fairy tales are closer to contemporary society, with more diverse themes, involving practical problems, social phenomena or the lives of contemporary children.

2. Different roles: The characters in traditional fairy tales have typical personality characteristics and behavior patterns, such as brave prince, beautiful princess and evil witch. The characters in modern fairy tales are more diverse, with different gender, race and cultural backgrounds, and pay more attention to the inner world and growth process of the characters.
