Hans Magnus Enzensberger uses fabulous and fairy-tale motifs in his poetry, as well as refers to myth, legend or topos, in order to show present conflicts. Sometimes he brings a child character into his works, at times adopts a puerile view of the world, mocks at human stupidity, expresses his critical approach to imperfect adult world, but at the same time manifests his negative attitude to global imperialism and social and political relationships prevailing in Germany. He sees in them the end of such values as human dignity, courage to express own thoughts or respect for another human being. Aware of civilisation threats, he fights in his poetry for human subjectivity by referring to the world of childish imagination, fairy tale and myth, in particular to the myth of childhood an parents, which he recalls in order to express his critical approach to declining society being based on money-worship and authoritarian power, which contributes to the objectification of human beings. In this study, using concrete examples, Enzensberger has been presented as a committed poet who tries – like Zbigniew Herbert – to support reality change and improvement in artistically valuable manner.
