Magic, good and evil (Motifs)
The motif of the fabulous atmosphere brought up by the author not simply in order to attract readers. The magic that is used by the characters will make the reader believe in miracles and know that all dreams come true. The fairy tale cannot go without the motif of good and evil. At least, we need to believe that good is stronger, and the book demonstrates it. Although the novel is a little naive, but it is very didactic and its fabulousness takes breath away. The victory of good confirms that life is still fair.
