Background

Grimm's fairy tales bring people happiness, nurture their desire for knowledge, and enhance their understanding of justice and evil, kindness and cruelty, honesty and hypocrisy, hard work and laziness.​ In fact, fairy tales in history have been dark from the beginning. They are rooted in the oral tradition of the people. In their early days, they contained elements that were not suitable for children such as blood, murder, violence, and sex. Under the double influence of the Brothers Grimm and Disney, fairy tales began to lose their dark undertones.​
