Abstract

This research presents an analytical approach of two tales from different popular traditions: « Cinderella » by Charles PERRAULT and « Zalgoum » by Mouloud MAMMERI. In the first part, we approached the psychological scope of the two tales, the object of analysis, in the light of the theories of the psychoanalyst BETTELHEIM. In fact, these texts play an essential didactic role in the formation of the child's identity through the impact they leave on their unconscious. By identifying with the two heroines of the corpus, the child manages to overcome his obsessions and find answers to the questions that torment him.
As for the second part, it is devoted to the analysis of the two tales according to the theories of PROPP and GREIMAS who have helped us to achieve this psychological approach. Thus, the tale assures the child that he will be guided by elements or people who will help him to overcome his difficulties.
