【 摘 要 】

The literary figure of the stepmother is widely spread in the fairy tales in Yemen. Like in Europe, this genre fulfils educative functions for the children, but it is also addressed to adults. In Yemen, the figure of the stepmother must be put in perspective in the socio-economical context of recomposed families in a still rural and patriarchal society. Without neglecting the performance context of the narration, neither the intertextual weaving of different forms of “tales” (myths, tricksters tales), the presentation and the analysis of five Yemeni tales and their variants allows us to explore the fantasy themes of the cruel mother and other kinds of monstrous kinship. On another hand, the magical agents which are essential to the fairy genre are, in Yemen, mainly animals who symbolize and idealize the kinship relations. If the fairy tales distort the challenges of the real life with a moral purpose, the Yemeni tales reveal the existence of what we can call an “anthropological complex” of the stepmother which expresses itself through other oral genres which are still to be studied.
