In classic fairy stories,magical creatures are either incorporated in the world of the main characters or have a separate world of their own. The boundary is usually unclear and only open to those chosen. Does this mean only specific people are worthy to see such a world. Does this reflect any ideas of how humans should be like to be worthy of special knowledge of such worlds.

In some fairy stories, the characters that enter the world enter not because they want to, but because they need to. Perhaps it is not a question of being worthy, but of needing to enter the world and to benefit from the experience. Then again, perhaps the need to enter the world is what makes a character worthy of entering.
