Abstract
The history of any nation has always been connected with its tale heritage. Fairytales were initially created as an attempt to explain reality by means of imposing peculiarities of the natural world on the life of the society. The blending of ideas in tales carries a deep pragmatic sense. For example, the word Catwoman was firstly employed in fairytales due to various cultural reasons. The purpose of our research is to apply the theory and the structure of blending to the study of the fairytale image ‘Catwoman’, and to find the connection between cultural beliefs and the way the blend has been yielded.
