The main difference seems to lie in that while a lot of the same things happened in the tale it is done differently in the movie. The first example is when the huntsman spares her, where she originally pleaded with him, in the movie he said it all, and let her go. Another example is when she encounters the dwarfs and the dwarves tell her she can stay if she does the house work. In the movie she is the one that says it, this changes how the original tale went about it, and changes the message. Which is why in the original tale when she offers to do it, it comes across more as she is trying to survive in the world after being sentenced to death by her stepmother, in the movie I feel like it comes across more as being a part of the filmmakers evidently apparent goal of not having women do anything that contributes to the plot. Obviously this is more due to the time period when this film came out. It was 1937, meaning doing this was more normal back then. Especially back then, because in a

Obviously since magic does not exist someone can't use that, but with marriage yes. Also important to remember that the story of Cinderella takes place at a time when women had virtually no rights. People nowadays also live in places and work jobs they don't like, because they do not have any other options. However that is usually when people don't have money and can't change it because of that. In Cinderella's case the house is very big and they have money, the stepmother thinks of her as a leftover from getting the house. Even though the father is still alive he does not run the house, and even when someone asks if Cinderella is his daughter he says it is his dead wife's child. As if he wasn't the father. Therefore even though the father is still alive he may as well be dead. Nonetheless she could leave, but even if she could she would probably have not really any other options that were different. So naturally she thinks of being married and thus being se

Fairy tales are a type of storytelling, usually about fictional stories meant for children. The great fairy tales are usually myths. Myths that usually conform with a older form of story telling that was based on the ideals of a patriarchal society. Where the men did all the fighting, governed politics, and the women were relegated to homemaking and child baring. An example of this is in the 1959 adaptation of Sleeping Beauty, where the two main characters are relegated to being stereotypes to their genders. (1) Many of the fairy tales were originally told orally. This is important to note because while it is the same story it can very easily, when put on paper be expanded upon. Also the difference between a fairy tale told orally is that when spoken, it usually has a formula to it whereas a novel for example, usually has a more original ending. All very important differences because when translated to different mediums the message can be altered or even if not the padding around it c

The Difference between the Movie and real life

The first difference is in how they show the brothers obtaining the tales. The movie shows what some believe they actually did, which was going into villages and getting it there. Whereas in real life they invited the people to their homes, where they would be told the tales. Other things were changed, however it is very clear why. To begin with the brothers themselves Will who was in real life the one who got married and had a family, in the movie he's the more outgoing, and womanizing one. The brother Jacob who in real life had a similar personalty to the movie, he however is overexgerated to being more of the comic relief. However they both do have that going for them in the movie. The changes were clearly made, because while the real story was interesting it probably would not have worked for the tone of the movie. Obviously they did not actually go around creating these hoaxes, and even if they did I can't imagine two very hard core Lutherans, not only excessively drinki
