Seriously Snow White!!!!!

As I began to read the Brothers Grimm I was reminded of the recently remake movie Called, “Snow White and the Huntsman” that came out last year I believe. This particularly dark version of the Snow White story tale, which I would say is more like the Brothers Grimm version started off with this exact scene described in the story. In the movie she pricks her finger on a thorn while viewing a beautiful red rose and also wished for a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony. From what I remembered in the Disney version, the queen had always hated the Snow White. In the Grimm version the queen didn’t begin to feel threatened by Snow White until she was seven. It was interesting to see a little bit of Goldilocks and the three bears tale in this Grimm version. When Snow White enters the house she eats a little bit off each dwarfs plate of bread and wine that was waiting for them for when they got home. How is that possible that they have food and wine waiting for them if they live alone? She continues to sit and try out every chair and finds a bed to sleep in. I don’t remember any of this scenes displayed in the Disney version. I also don’t remember hearing a version where the queen tried to kill Snow White three different times with Staylace, a poison comb, and with also with the poison apple. The poison apple is the only threat displayed in the Disney version.  I was caught off guard when the queen asked for the huntsman to bring her Snow’s liver and lungs and felt the need to eat them.  Snow White was dumb and pissed me off in the Grimm’s tale. To be so stupid and allow some old lady to trick you three times with the results of almost being murdered was ridiculous. Snow White needed a big neon sign saying “Don’t be stupid she wants you dead” but maybe that might not have been enough for her as well! The prince wanting to take Snow White’s coffin to his house also surprised me. In the Disney version he walks up to her, kisses her, and then they live happily ever after. Grimm’s version is that he fell in love with her and wanted her dead body. The men trip, the coffin bumps the apple bite that chocked her to death is removed, and Walla, She’s awake. I was fascinated by the end of Grimm’s tale by making it known that the old queen had to have red hot iron shoes on her feet and dance to death which I found comical. In the Disney version the queen is pushed over a mountain cliff and like all other Disney movies we never see the death and it is always assumed they are gone. The theme I see in this story and like many other Disney tales shown is that there is always an evil character who is always portrayed as ugly characters who are envious of the beautiful girls and will go to murderous acts or keep them captive just to make sure no one sees how beautiful they are.  The queen hates Snow White and rather than sending her away she would rather kill her then have anyone more beautiful be around her.
