Abstract

The article examines the features of the image of a positive hero of a magical fairy tale, its content, context, and educational potential. The purpose of this article is to study of the characteristic features of the image of the positive hero of the Ukrainian fairy tale and the identification of his educational potential. The study of the image of the positive hero in Ukrainian magical fairy tales employs a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating folklore studies, literary criticism, and cultural anthropology. This method allows for an in-depth examination of the narrative structures, thematic elements, and cultural significance of the tales. The primary sources for this study include a comprehensive collection of Ukrainian magical tales, scholarly articles, and historical texts that provide insights into the evolution of these stories and their roles within Ukrainian culture. The types of heroes of magical tales are highlighted, their national and universal virtues are analyzed. Mythologemes and archaisms of the fairy tale "Kotygoroshko" were studied. It was concluded that the images of positive heroes of fairy tales in their own actions, activities, exploits, communication with other characters appear as integral human characters, exponents of the best virtues of the Ukrainian people. Heroes are consistent in their actions, value honor, justice, loyalty to family, people, and Motherland above all else. They wage an implacable struggle against evil in all its forms and always win. These are strong, courageous, honest, reliable knights, devoted to the end of the fight for the truth.
