changes within fairyatles

What to expect?

Communication within human civilization will only evolutionize to adapt to the capacity of the human mind's progress.

  • Folklore withn ancient civilizations. What're similarities/differnces?
  • Fairytale adaptations are revelant to the time period i.e. Brothers Grimm Hansel and Gretel fairytale vs. Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters movie

And

the human psyche has become fixated on the morals of fairy tales and it has made the mind capitulate on the idea of them. take snow white for instance.

social & cultural lens

snow white

  • snow white is based off of Margaretha von waldeck
  • margaretha lived in the 1500s
  • her brother used small children to work his copper mine. Severely deformed because of the physical labor mining required, they were despairingly referred to as dwarfs.
  • The poison apple is also rooted in fact; an old man would offer tainted fruits to the workers, and other children he believed stole from him.
  • Margarete’s stepmother, despising her, sent the beauty, to the Brussels court to get rid of her.
  • There Prince Philip II of Spain became her steamy lover.
  • His father, the king of Spain, opposing the romance, dispatched Spanish agents to murder Margarete. They secretly poisoned her.

Our favorite fairytales aren't as ethical as we thought

human

But How?

Jack and the beanstalk

  • When we think about fairytale we think about the happily ever afters, but is it really just that?
  • as we get older our perception of right and wrong are bound to change
  • think of the fairytale Jack and the beanstalk, would the answer to the question "was jack right to sneak into the giants home and steal from him?" be different now than from when you were younger?

different cultures affect the overall moral of fairy tales through artistic and philosophical lenses by implementing traditional values in stories.

The dreaming tree

The dreaming tree

  • Moral of possessing loving and generous hearts and listening closely to your dreams.
  • Another moral was to be generous to all, even your enemies.
  • These morals are extremely prevalent in Brazilian culture.
  • Brazilian culture affects the main characters
  • Artistically, the Jaguar Man is a large part of the magical realism as jaguars are a large element of Central and South American culture.
  • “In indigenous mythology and folklore, the jaguar plays a variety of roles ranging from a wise and powerful leader, to a fierce warrior, to a deadly monster. Many tribes ascribe shapeshifting powers to jaguars.”
