If someone were to ask me to describe a faerie to them before I had taken this class I would with no doubt describe Tinkerbell from Peter Pan. I never thought about the word faerie as in depth as this one article views it. I learned that the word faerie is often used to lightly among us humans and the faerie beings will take offense for just about anything that we do.
In the realm of myth, or stories where I believe faerie beings ultimately exist, I can understand how frustrating it would be for the creatures to grow impatient with humans. For one thing, since they are similar to us in appearance we would ignorantly assumet that we can relate to how they think, feel, and live. This article puts that idea to rest in stating that these beings do not relate on any real aspect to humans.
I find it quite unfair however for the realm of faerie to be so impatient with the beings that created them. Since faerie comes from the mind of human beings everything that the faerie beings do are due to the kindness and grace of humans. The article mentioned that faerie beings enjoy all types of art and listed a lot of things that humans enjoy as well. I think that if they are going to enjoy and partake from the things that humans were enjoying before them, then they owe a certain amount of gratitude to all humans for at least introducing the idea to them.
Ultimately, it doesn't surprise me in the least that these beings would rebel against their creater for even humans have the same mode of actions towards theirs. Other than what I have stated, I have no idea what other thoughts I could gather from this article. If I gather any more thoughts about the matter I will be sure to come back again.
