Snow White (is a dumb b****)

Snow White – Brothers Grimm

(From what I recall) Walt Disney never brought Snow White’s mother into the picture so the whole scene in Grimm’s version where the mother pricks her finger and looks at the snow outside causing her mother to create this perfect baby image in her head .She wished “If only I could have a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as the wood of the window frame”, which is why she soon gave birth to just that. Unfortunately she dies short after childbirth (go figure), and the father remarries an evil women that had a magic mirror. This mirror is very symbolic when it comes to identifying this tale of Miss Snow White. Another small difference between Disney and Grimm’s version is what the Queen asks of her horsemen. In Grimm’s version of this tale the Queen asks for her huntsmen to kill Snow White and bring back her lungs and liver for proof of her death. Disney’s Queen asks her huntsmen to bring back Snow White’s heart for evidence. Both stories have the magic mirror reviling the truth of where Snow White really is which makes the Queen very angry. Another difference between the versions is the amount of times the Evil Witch in Disney, and the disguised Queen in Grimm, tries to kill Snow White. Disney has the Evil Witch bringing Snow White a “magical apple” that would grate her wishes with a single bite which strikes her dead as can be there in the cottage with the Dwarfs.

Grimm has the Queen attempting to kill Snow White herself, disguised as a poor women she goes to the Dwarfs cottage to sell Staylaces, Snow White being the dumb bitch that she is, lets her in to try Staylaces on. When the Queen is behind Snow White she tightens her up so tightly that she passes out cold on the floor. The Seven Dwarfs come to her rescue and she is back to life. The second time the Queen has to attempt to kill Miss White was with a poisonous comb, and as the story goes, the “poor women” is selling combs and she lets her in the cottage to test them out. The Dwarfs come home to “dead” Snow White, pull the comb from her hair and saves her life….Once Again!! The third time that the queen has to come slay “the fairest of them all” she is determined that this is the last time, so she creates a poisonous apple that will kill Snow White instantly. The Seven Dwarfs return home to see the infamous Miss White staged as usual on the floor in the middle of their cottage. This time they were not able to save her life so they buried her in a glass casket to show the world her beauty. The day the Prince arrived he demanded to have her as his wife and his men carried her glass casket away, as they were on their journey home they tripped on something causing them to drop her casket which lodged the poisonous apple out of the back of her throat bringing her back to life. And the most surprising thing to me that Grimm added in was the iron shoes that killed the Queen at the wedding. I mean, what a way to go out, dancing to death.
