ORIGINAL: DominantWrestler Some versions of the Snow White tales have her exchanging sex along with cooking and cleaning for board. Some versions, the dwarves rape her. being that ive never seen, nor even heard of such versions, can you be a little more forthcoming please? I think he is confusing it with Sleeping Beauty. No, I'm not confusing the two. Sexuality and Violence were cornerstones of Grimm tales and a lot of old stories great---ive got a couple collections of the grimm stories, tell me where the guy has sex with beauty while she is sleeping. shouldn't be too much of a problem to find the exact lines. or where the dwarves rape snow white. The Brother's Grimm cleaned things up. The oral tradition stories from the French and the Germans were rather gruesome by today's standards. For example the cannibalism in Little Red Riding Hood. Children do not actually tend to mind blood and gore as long and the correct people are on the receiving end of "a good kicking." For example - My daughter and I watched "Lost Girl" when she was six. No problem with the violence done on the "bad guys." When Nadia got knifed though - THAT upset her. Michelle Pfiefer, in Batman 2, shoving stuffed animals in the garbage disposal when she was 4, was the part of the movie that upset her. Kids KNOW that the certain people just need killing. [:)] One of my favorite quotes of all time-several incorrect versions of the quote are out there, but most still get the sentiment correct. Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon. ~ G.K. Chesterton, writing the original lines, in Tremendous Trifles, Book XVII: The Red Angel (1909)
