In this week’s reading, my attitude & view on fairytales have changed. This week’s reading of Snow White has brought back the magical story telling of this classic. The fairytales for this week has returned that joy & excitement that I have had when I was a kid hearing these classic fairytales. While reading “Little Snow White” by Brothers Grimm, it gave me a new view in the story of Snow White. In the reading, I was not aware of how Snow Whites stepmother was obsessed with beauty and herself. In the reading the stepmother created multiple attempts to kill snow white. However in the movie’s we know that Snow is just poisoned by an apple and then is awakened by a kiss from a prince. Also, from the reading “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” the ending was a dark and grim ending that I never knew. Snow White’s stepmother has cruel ending of having to dance in red hot iron shoes until she dies. A cruel but fitting ending for her stepmother so bent on her on fading beauty, that she will try to kill her stepdaughter. This weeks reading of fairytales have shown me that not all fairytales have happy endings.
