Snow White

Snow White

It was very interesting reading the different versions of Snow White, especially because I never knew that there was more than one version of the tale. It has been a while since I have seen the Disney movie of Snow White but after reading Grimms version bits and pieces came flooding back. One specific thing I remembered was how she stumbled upon the cottage. The differences though were how she started eating the food and how she sampled all of the beds. Something else that surprised me was when Snow Whites mother bled on the snow and wished that her daughter was white as snow. Another difference was how the step mom asked the huntsman to bring back her heart and liver, which was different than the movie because she only asked for the heart as proof. I think that the way that Disney modified the story made it more appealing to children because the way I look at it I would have been terrified if I saw Grimms story.
