Before i read grimms tales, i thought that all fairy tales had happy endings..thats at least the way walt disney has made them appear to millions of children across the united states….Walt disney portrays the story of cinderella as her father died, and that was the only reason that such evil behavior and actions were bestowed upon cinderella…this is not the case…grimms fairy tales, have morals and have unusual endings…cruel endings…my thoughts on fairy tales before this was that there were always happy endings in all fairy tales…
After reading grimms tales and seeing that in the story cinderella’s father was alive, and he allowed his stepdaughters and wife to treat her so harshly startled me…and in the end when the birds poked out their eyes were even more disturbing…i wouldve thought that these were folk tales, but indeed they are old fairy tales that people used to read their children, and walt disney pretty much sugar coated these fairy tales for millions of american children across the states…i still would like to believe and hope that fairy tales are happy and that dreams do come true..
