Sex and Violence

The hard Core of fairy talesSlide2

Grimms’ versions of tales are often violent

Doves peck out eyes of Cinderella’s stepsisters

Briar Rose’s suitors bleed to death in hedge surrounding her castle

Often edited out references to “certain conditions and relationships”

Story of Hans

Dumm

was dropped after first edition of

Nursery and Household Tales

due to focus on pregnancy

Wilhelm Grimm omitted hints of premarital sexual activity such as in “Frog King or Iron Heinrich”

Incestuous themes were avoided or toned down. If they were too difficult to eliminate entirely, judgmental observations were added.Slide4

Why did they alter the stories?

Response to criticism from peers

Began

to view their books more as a source of income

Some felt the first edition missed its potential market because the

Grimms

’ scholarly ambitions undermined the production of a book for children.

Competitors were tailoring similar books to

childrenSlide5

Began to see an opportunity for some much needed income

Folk and fairy tales began to shift from adult oriented to entertainment for children

Modesty and gentility,

Skill, hard work, and love of labor
