    In the novel Under a Cruel Star, written by Heda Margolius Kovaly, a Jewish woman that lived in Prague, Czechoslovakia during Nazi and Soviet rule of her country, the author tells about her life of always living under terrible circumstances.

  • George MacDonald's The Princess and the Goblin

    1170 Words  | 3 Pages

    The moon has been worshipped as a female deity since the beginning of time. Not only is the moon a feminine principle, it is also a symbol of transformation due to its own monthly cycle of change. With this in mind, it is clear upon a close reading of The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald that the grandmother figure is a personification of the moon, and as such is a catalyzing agent for Irene's maturation and transformation through the course of the novel. Taking this a step further, the elder Irene contains the threefold aspect of the Moon Goddess. She is Artemis, Selene, and Hecate; the crescent moon, the full moon, and the dark moon; maiden, mother, and crone (Rush, 149).

  • Fairy Tales Paper: A Retelling of Little Red Riding Hood

    945 Words  | 2 Pages

    As we look back on the history of fairy tales, we find that they are stories passed down to generations through the oral tradition that generally include a moral or pervading theme that is meant to aid the listener. One characteristic of oral stories are the variations that often occurred with each retelling as a result of errors in translation and interpretations, as well as changes driven by the storyteller’s desire to share a particular point of view with the listener. A modern twist on these variations is evident in children’s literature today. “The Sisters Grimm”, a popular series written by best-selling author Michael Buckley, offers a whole new dimension of changes to classic fairy tales as he reinvents the stories by adding depth, meaning, and humanity to many of the popular characters. Over the course of this paper, I will examine those changes and how they compare to the original Brothers Grimm version.

  • Women In Cinderella, Or The Little Glass Slipper By Jacob And Wilhelm Grimm

    937 Words  | 2 Pages

    For centuries, women have struggled in the fight to gain equality with men. Despite the major advances in civil and political rights, society still has a long way to go in addressing the issue of gender inequality. One major factor that prevents society from achieving gender equality is the idea that marriage is a women’s ultimate life goal. This notion has been significantly presented in literature causing women to appear less powerful than men, more specifically, in the fairly tales “Cinderella, or the little Glass Slipper” by Charles Perrault and “Ash Girl” by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. The stereotypical depiction of women only being ambitious toward marriage has led to women being inferior to men.

  • Fairy Tales In Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber

    1159 Words  | 3 Pages

    Angela Carter’s story The Bloody Chamber heavily tampers with a reader’s prior knowledge of the fairy tale genre by manipulating expected conventions in order to showcase the dark side of fairy tales. Carter challenges the genre’s aspects of happy endings, of the mother figure, and of the masking of women’s desires by giving each a twist in the story in order to truly depict how fairy tales are not just a tale of a dream come true. The rite of passage in fairy tales is often shown as something spectacular and morally good, however, Carter subtly demolishes that expectation in her story, which is very dependent on the readers’ prior knowledge of the genre, and thus allows for the readers to see the darkness that lurks within fairy tales rather

  • The Changing Themes of Grimm Brothers' Stories

    885 Words  | 2 Pages

    Through the many years the Grimm brothers were alive, an array of children's literature was produced. Actually, the correct term would be reproduced. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were masters at reproducing and even changing early children's stories so that they had more meaning for the children of the time. More times than not, they censored out sexual meanings and added violence to children's stories that had already been told for centuries. By doing so, the brothers got an effect out of the story that would change it from a story with a subtle theme or moral, to a vivid story of lessons to be learned and consequences to be dealt with. There was one thing about their' writing that was always constant, which was the message they wanted to portray. They often gave stories more than one theme and a lot of the time there were similarities between all the messages. No matter whether the story had a positive or negative story line one message was always the same, children should use their brains to overcome any situation.

  • Hansel & Gretel: A tale of Many Stories

    1245 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fairy tales have been a big part of learning and childhood for many of us. They may seem childish to us, but they are full of life lessons and intelligent turnings. Components of fairy tales may even include violence, but always with the aim to provide a moral to the story. Hansel and Gretel is in itself a very interesting story to analyze. It demonstrates the way that children should not stray too far from their benchmarks and rely on appearances. In 2013, a film adaptation was produced. This film is produced for an older public and has picked up the story to turn it into a more mature and violent version. Hansel and Gretel is a German fairy tale written by the Grimm Brothers which has undergone several changes over the years and across the cultures which it touched, but for the purposes of this essay, I will stick to the original story. In the development of this essay, I will analyze the components of this tale by the Brothers Grimm based on the factors listed in the course syllabus (violence, interpersonal relationships, the function of magic and the ending), and I will then do a summary and comparison between the story and the film which was released in theaters recently.

  • Sophie's World, by Jostein Gaarder

    811 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Sophie's World, Jostein Gaarder teaches philosophy and it explains basic philosophical ideas better than any other reading book or textbook that I have ever read. The many philosophical lessons of the diversified thinkers of their own time were dexterously understood. The author has a wonderful knack for finding the heart of a concept and placing it on display. For example, he metamorphoses Democritus' atoms into Lego bricks and in a stroke makes the classical conception of the atom dexterously attainable. He relates all the abstract concepts about the world and what is real with straightforward everyday things that everyone can relate to which makes this whole philosophy course manageable. ''The best way of approaching philosophy is to ask a few philosophical questions: How was the world created? Is there any will or meaning behind what happens? Is there a life after death? How can we answer these questions? And most important, how ought we to live?'' (Gaarder, Jostein 15).

  • Cinderella By The Brothers Grimm

    108 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the original Cinderella by the Brothers Grimm, there is barely any mention of a father figure. This may be because “when Jacob was 11 and Wilhelm, 10, their father died.” Their stories most likely have no father because for a vast majority of their lives, they had no father figure. This can especially affect them because they didn’t have a father figure through their maturing years. However, in the story of Cinderella, there is a father figure but he seems to leave often. “It happened that the father was once going to the fair…” He is not talked about other than a small portion of the story.

  • The Original Versions Of Grimm's Fairy Tales

    269 Words  | 1 Pages

    The first thing I noticed about Grimm’s Fairy Tales while researching is that there are over one hundred and fifty tales that were modified from version to version by the Grimm’s themselves. I have never searched or realized that there was this much written by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, written from 1812 through 1857. Their stories follow suit with other stories from past chapters, (Mother Goose), that most of us have read and reread to our children, that are very bloody, horrific, and not really something that we typically would call fit for children. In the original versions of some Grimm Fairy Tales, according to Flood, “Rapunzel is impregnated by her prince, the evil queen in Snow White is the princess’s biological mother, plotting
