After reading fairytales this week, my view on fairytales have completely changed. I always thought that fairytales were all nice, sweet, and with happy endings, like the ones you grow up with either reading or watching things on TV like Disney. After the reading, I began to look more and more for the origins of fairytales and found that many of them originally were more creepy horror stories that were told. A good amount of fairytales (and majority of cartoons that are for kids) originate from the Grimm stories. When I was a child and had seen/read snow white, I though of it very innocently. However reading it as an adult made me realize just how dark the “fairytale” really is, and how the message behind it can connect even into real life.
