Characteristics of heroes tales

What I wanted to convey Andersen?
It Happens that, fascinated by the plot or the main characters, the audience (or readers) to forget about the details, which play the most important role in history. Pea: that was referring to Hans Christian, saying that the Princess felt the pressure of a pea through twenty (!) featherbeds?
It is Not necessary to be seven spans in a forehead to understand that it was not a plant of the legume family. No, even the most delicate and hereditary Princess with the perfect pedigree simply could not physically feel the peas through the seed bed. So, pea – it's a metaphor? What I wanted it to convey a great storyteller?
No wonder the "Princess and the pea" summary - the author did not consider it necessary to dwell on the details of the story and highlighted the essence: the character will not hide!
