Grimm Fairy Tales

Name: Grimm Fairy Tales
Creators/Writers: Grimm Brothers (Jacob and Wilhelm)
Book Type: Morphed Fairy Tales

Why Fairy Tales?: The books were created around the time that World War 2 was in action and this had a major effect on the culture and what people were thinking at the time which in the end effected what the Grimm Brothers were thinking at the time and how they wrote what was meant to be quite happy stories, in to  grim and horrid stories which made characters more vulgar and un-wantable. Which shows what people like them were thinking in the time and how it was generally not a place where you could talk about happy stories with morales when so much devastation and death was happening.

Morphing of Characters: The Grimm Brothers used the stories in their own way and changed the characters so it didn't follow the moral that the normal stories take. Even though this occurred, they
still only made the characters have the personality trait that was personified in the original tales (a.k.a Cinderella's Stepsister being cruel and treating her like a slave). By personification, I mean they made the characters show that trait in their looks and personality a lot more. Again, back to the Step-Sister, in their adaptation of Cinderella, they made her into an alien because that was something that she was made out to be from the original tale of Cinderella.
