Discuss Regarding Books Household Tales by Brothers Grimm

Pretty much what I expected, with a few fun turns. Darker than the tales we are told as children. People are more evil than you think, and usually because they are starving, including a great willingness to kill their children for practically any reason. Cleverness is valued over goodness, but keeping promises is paramount. How's that for a nutshell?I finally read this because it was the first week's assignment for the Coursera science fiction and fantasy class that I'm taking.

"Fairy tales" is this magical word that has this beautiful, colorful, dreamy, hopeful sweet taste, it can be actually quite the opposite. And this is very very very obvious in Grimm brothers' fairy tales. Amusing? Sure, they are pretty amusing, with manny shocking, violent scenes. I'll try not to focus on one story in my review, I'd rather talk about the general themes that can be found in almost all the stories: (some of those themes are general in all fairy tales, though)1) The "bad guy" is

Children's and Household Tales (Kinder und Hausmärchen) by the Brothers Grimm contains a treasury of fairy tales with titles familiar to many the world over. For instance, we have Aschenputtel (Cinderella), Little Red Cap (Little Red Riding Hood), Schneewittchen (Snow White), Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, and Rumpelstilzchen (Rumpelstiltskin) to name just a few. That said, the versions adapted by Disney for their animated children's movies are strikingly different from the original tales as

Coursera - Fantasy and Science Fiction: The Human Mind, Our Modern WorldFinished 1/2 the stories.My essay: The Clever Shall Inherit?Throughout ones reading of Grimms Household Tales, several familiar faces appear. However, these tales are interspersed between oddities like Clever Grethel, Cat and Mouse in Partnership, and The Three Spinsters. What do we make of these? They definitely do not sing the familiar praises to those who work hard, or those who wait patiently for their prince to come,

Essay for the 'Fantasy and Science Fiction: The Human Mind, Our Modern World' course offered by the University of Michigan at www.coursera.org:In Household Stories, the brothers Grimm look to arm children with a more realistic view of the world by presenting them with an array of tales with counterintuitive and sometimes conflicting moralities.In the dominant cultural narrative, childrens stories have come to follow a predictable arc: Good people are confronted by an unpleasant force, fall into

I am actually reading this book off of a web site, since I cannot find a copy of it and the website contains more of the brothers grimm stories than this book does. The website is here: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~spok/grimmtmp/ and the stories are public domain.I love the classical renditions of Grimms fairy tales. I was raised on the watered down Disney versions, which are nice in their own right, but I have always wanted to see these. They are much more violent and (most) get their point across

If it wasn't for the Grimm's collection of fairy tales Disney would be short quite a few princesses. Of course, if you only know the "Disneyized" version you are in for quite a surprise.Reading the collection of tales really allowed me to see the similarities in themes among many of the stories. Many of the stories, such as "Clever Else" and "Fred and Kate", really seemed to be variations of the same tale. In the tale "Roland" it was interesting to see the idea of the evil step-mother's death
