Grimm Fairy Tales vs Disney Stories

Grimm vs. Disney The M sameg of a poove Tale Amber Brandenburg position 121 Pr saturnineessor Kari Lomanno 8/13/2012 The fairy tales that we grew up with be not the originals. Disney and the brothers Grimm had devil truly different versions. While many of us grew up notice cute birds and mice following the woe begotten princess, the original stories were forgotten by most. These stories were far darker, closing curtain in cruel justice for a half-sister or worse. The difference of opinion between aspects of the two tales discussed, in some instances, is the difference between night and day. Grimm fairy tales contain more violence, harsher villains, and swifter justice.The first specimen of this can be seen in the difference between Disneys and Grimms versions of Cinderella. In the Disney version of the story, Cinderella is a poor girl who lives with her stepmother and sisters. She wishes to go to the gawk and she f all in alls in love with him before running off to reconci le her curfew. Then of course, he comes to her rescue and everything ends happily ever after. The good characters are good and the bad characters are bad. There is a happy ending and no unmatchable really gets hurt in the end. Grimms Cinderella is a similar tale with some fiercer consequences to the villains.The Grimm version has many of the same speckle elements and devices as the story we all know and love. In this version her engender is still alive and still lets the rest of the family treat her like a slave. Instead of a fairy godmother granting her wish it is a tree she position on her mothers grave and some birds. When the sisters try on the golden shoe one cuts off her toes, while the other cuts off her heels and the birds chant that neither could be the princes proper bride. Finally, the sisters are punish at Cinderellas wedding by birds who peck their gists out, passing them forever blind. carbon white, another acclaimed Disney tale, also contains plot devices and en ding punishments that are very different from the cookie cutter nice endings of Disney. Everyone knows that Snow white is the young woman of a King who remarries an evil stepmother. Everyone knows that when the pouf discovers that Snow Whites beauty is greater than hers, she asks the huntsman to kill her. Finally, we all know that the dwarves issuing care of her until her death, at which point the prince comes to the rescue and awakens her with a kiss. These are all elements of the story that we come to expect when we hear the name Snow White.In the brothers Grimm version, the queen still demands the death of Snow White and the Huntsman still lets her go. solitary(prenominal) this time he kills a boar and brings the queen back its lungs and colorful and she eats them, thinking that they are from Snow Whites body. Snow White still meets the dwarves in the woods, but their introduction to her was more akin to that of goldilocks and the three bears. Then, when she is poisoned by t he apple, the kiss of the prince is not what awakens her. Instead the prince begs the dwarves to imbibe her dead body and the trip to the castle dislodges the apple bite caught in her throat.Finally, at the marriage of the happy couple, the queen arrives and is forced to dance in red hot iron shoes until she dies. Definitely not what one would remember from the Disney adaptation. These are just two examples out of many. The versions of fairy tales by Grimm and Disney are ceaselessly similar in nature and moral. The differences in the expound of the story range from minute to highly significant. The punishments placed upon the villains are always more severe than those placed upon the villains in the tales spun by Disney.The older Grimm stories unimpeachably place a higher importance on the eye for an eye methodology of punishment than its newer Disney counterpart. The morals are the same, just the details and severities of the punishments differ.
