In the article, Dreams of a Better Bourgeois Life: The Psycho-Social Origins of the Tales, Jack Zipes explains the psychosocial origins of the tales of the Brothers Grimm. Since there are very few publications of attempts to explain the psychosocial origins, there is an assumption “that the tales were genuine folk tales” (28). As Zipes describes, these fairy tales do not reflect the “ancient times and customs” (29). When the Grimm Brother’s collected these fairy tales they already had undergone changes. Also, the Grimm’s collection of fairy tales were rewrote to represent them because these tales closely related to their lives. The Grimm Brothers experienced loss and separation of family members, decline in social status, lack of basic needs

Appearing as a fiction genre, fairy tales, or children's literature ,detach readers and listeners minds from the reality to another dimension where all magical and spiritual things can occur. Most of the fairy tales that one might encounter originate from Brothers Grimm, two German writers who travelled to many places to collect folk tales during the 19th century and rewrote them into fairy tales. Usually, the stories that Brothers Grimm write implicitly contain a moral message, values within the society which aimed to teach children. Snow White, a famous fairy tale that a lot of children have heard of, teach them not to interact with other strangers, good karma will happen to those of who be good and mean well. However, looking at a bigger pictures, fairy tales in general, and Snow White particularly,

Before the Brothers Grimm transcribed what is known today as one of the most recognized fairytales ever recorded, it was being passed down orally from generation to generation at every corner of the globe. Various versions of Cinderella’s myth can be found in almost every culture in the world, all very distinct with their own specific qualities, reflecting each society’s predominant interpretations of religious themes. For instance, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s works were known to promote their Prussian culture and language, such as “Aschenputtel”, their German version of Cinderella. Most of their adjustments were heavily influenced by the criticism of their fellow countrymen, their audience, and their Christian beliefs.

At the orphanage Deprince found a magazine with a ballerina on front of it, at first she did not know what it was but she knew that she wanted to do what the ballerina was doing. “She was standing on the very tips of her toes. ‘Isn’t that a funny way to walk?’ Mabinty Suma asked. ‘Hmm, I think she might be dancing,’ I said.

Once upon a time, didn’t happen the way everyone was told as a child. Though out time and cultures, the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales children have grown up with, have been changed to fit the needs of individual cultures and families. Their influence stretches over geographic and linguistic boundaries leaving a mark on cultures around the world. The tales of damsels such as Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Snow White are ones that are known by every generation, in almost every cultures around the world. These stories that are told now are not the ones told long ago in their home country of Germany.

The Grimm Brothers were extremely supportive of the unification of Germany, and in their eyes, they saw that one of the ways that they themselves could increase and contribute to the nationalistic feelings of the German people was by writing fairy tales in the vernacular. Their stories became incredibly famous throughout Germany, and especially with children as it promoted the idea that they were sharing a reading experience with other German children. It was one thing that made everyone feel as if they were all connected together in some way, even if it was simply through children’s stories. However, that was not all that the brothers did, throughout their various fairy tales, they continuously connected the mentality of their tales to that of the German folk, and thus, connected their stories to the German race. One way that they did this, for example, was through their story Cinderella. The story of Cinderella is well-known by almost everyone in the world, it’s the story of a girl whose father remarries once her biological mother dies. Cinderella is stuck with her cruel stepmother, and her two-sisters (who are described as having ugly, black hearts). The two sisters took every single piece of finery that Cinderella owned from her, forced to wear

Stories have been passed down from generation to generation since the dawn of time. Stories were often passed down for a purpose, whether it was to bring joy or hope to a person, or to teach an important lesson. Folktales date far back and are no exception. Folktales reflect physical, emotional, and social survival, while the characters’ experiences help to teach important life lessons.

Grimm’s tale conveys a story of a girl whose morals, soul, and faith in God and her mother’s words are what defines her beauty. They reinstate this point by describing even the step-sisters as works of beauty. By

The New Yorker featured an article depicting a different, yet similar story from the brothers that also touched upon a unique aspect of human nature. The author of the article described the tone of the story as such, “It feels like a glimpse of the dreadful side of the nature of things.” That is true of very many of the Grimm’s’ tales, even those with happy endings.” (Acocella). This outlook towards the brother’s work gives a darker point of view towards the fairy tales that are enjoyed as children, however this leads to a different interpretation to many stories as an adult.

Fairy tales are something that everyone has read or seen, they all seem to have important lessons at the end of each one to teach young children some of the lessons they need for life. These fairy tales when we were younger all seemed innocent and something we all hoped that would happen to us. Little did we know as we got older that the fairy tales we all knew and loved when we were younger, weren't as innocent as they seemed.
