The presence of moral lessons. In 'Pinocchio', Pinocchio's journey from a naughty puppet (leaning towards evil in his disobedience) to a real boy through his good deeds and learning right from wrong. This shows that good is rewarded and evil ways are not sustainable, which is an important element in such stories.
One common theme is courage. The good characters often have to be very brave to face the powerful evil forces. For example, in 'The Chronicles of Narnia', the children are brave enough to enter Narnia and fight against the White Witch.
The story of Cinderella also shows good winning over evil. Cinderella was kind -hearted and good, while her stepmother and stepsisters were mean and cruel, representing evil. Despite their ill - treatment, Cinderella maintained her goodness. In the end, with the help of her fairy godmother, she went to the ball, won the prince's heart, and escaped from the tyranny of her step - family.
One common theme is the power of sacrifice. In many of these stories, the good characters are willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, like Aslan in 'The Chronicles of Narnia'. His sacrifice ultimately leads to the defeat of evil.
One common theme is the power of perseverance. In many such stories, the good characters face numerous obstacles but keep going. For example, in the story of Harry Potter. Harry had to endure so much throughout his years at Hogwarts, but he never gave up fighting Voldemort.
In a victory of good over evil story, the concept of sacrifice is often present. In the story of Jesus Christ, his sacrifice on the cross is seen as a victory over the power of sin and death, which can be considered as evils. The power of love and friendship is also an element. Take the Chronicles of Narnia for example. The Pevensie children have a strong bond of love and friendship, and with that, they are able to defeat the White Witch, who represents evil. And the element of hope cannot be ignored. In many fairy tales, the hero or heroine never loses hope even in the face of great evil, like in the story of Sleeping Beauty, where the prince's hope of finding true love leads him to break the spell and defeat the evil that has befallen the princess.
In the story of Cinderella, Cinderella is the good-hearted protagonist. Her stepmother and stepsisters are the 'evil' ones who treat her poorly. But with the help of her fairy godmother, Cinderella gets to the ball, and in the end, she marries the prince. This shows that good is rewarded and overcomes the meanness of the others.
Often, you'll see heroes facing great challenges but staying true to their values and eventually emerging victorious. There might be epic battles and moments of self-sacrifice.
One classic example is 'The Lord of the Rings'. Frodo and his companions, representing good, face the great evil of Sauron. Despite numerous difficulties and temptations, in the end, good triumphs as the One Ring is destroyed and Sauron is defeated. Good prevails through the courage, friendship and self - sacrifice of the characters.
One example is the story of David and Goliath. David, a young shepherd, faced the giant Goliath. Despite being much smaller and less equipped in the eyes of others, David had faith and courage. He used his slingshot to strike Goliath down, showing that good, in the form of David's purity of heart and trust in God, could overcome the seemingly invincible evil of Goliath's menacing presence.
Another theme is the power of intelligence. In short stories where the hero or heroine outwits the villain. For instance, in 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves', Ali Baba uses his wits to defeat the thieves. He discovers their secret cave and manages to outmaneuver them, which indicates that intelligence can be a great weapon against evil.
