Walk Two Moons Vs. The Sing Of Beaver

Sweeney Todd and Into the Woods are musicals with lyrics and scores written by Stephen Sondheim. In Sweeney Todd, a barber is sent to Australia for trumped up charges while the Judge steals his wife and daughter. Barker comes back with a vengeance, renames himself Sweeney Todd and vows to make the Judge pay for what he has done. In Into the Woods, a witch has put a curse on a family for generations because the patriarch stole some vegetables from her garden. Springing from this robbery, she set a curse disallowing the family to ever bear children again. The Baker, the son of the thief, now begs the Witch to remove the curse, she sends him on a scavenger hunt and thus creates turmoil and distress for many other people. In both cases, revenge is used as a driving force for the plot. Sondheim represents the theme of revenge in both musicals as detrimental to those you love as well as a trap that can lead you into dark places.

Fairy tales have existed for years, some starting as oral stories for decades before ever being recorded on paper. These tales continue to hold an importance in the present such that they reflect the changes in time and progression of thought and ideas. Over time, many fairy tales are retold for various reasons including reforming them to be used for new audiences to make the story more relatable or to convey a different point of view to various specific audiences. This can be seen in various renditions; Andrew Anderson’s Shrek can be compared to Steig’s “Shrek!” and Perrault’s “Sleeping Beauty in the Wood” and evaluated as a retelling of either based on specific criteria. Although some may argue that William Steig’s “Shrek!” appears more closely similar to Anderson’s Shrek, as evaluated from the presence of similar characters, general plot structure, and targeted audience, the movie Shrek is more closely a retelling of Charles Perrault’s “Sleeping Beauty in the Wood.”
