Fairy tale

Fairytales often have hidden advice within the story. For example, some illustrate a hidden agenda that people are willing to do things, even if it is at the cost of others. A masked message is found in the fairy tale Hansel and Gretel; in Hansel and Gretel the stepmother convinced the father that they should take their children into the woods and leave them there to fend for themselves in order to have more food for the stepmother and father, she even says “the children must go” (144).

Obviously the first stop on their tour around Diagon Alley was Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. As soon as they got there the group split up and headed towards sections of books they thought looked interesting.

Thalia instantly drifted toward the area dedicated to Astronomy and surprisingly, she also took a liking to books on the history

The limitations of female roles in classic fairy tales is a prominent issue. In fact, looking at the Grimm stories, there are very few roles that are simply reused.

Cinderella tries to be positive and devout, even though her family is atrocious to her. In the end, the prince takes Cinderella to his castle and they live happily ever after.

Stepmothers are usually looked at in a negative way. The Stepmother from the story Cinderella, treats Cinderella poorly and acts as if she were her family's slave. Throughout the fairy tale, the Stepmother shows that she is evil because she is cruel, because she is selfish, and most importantly because she is biased.

There are a dozen adaptations of the Grimm brothers fairytale; The Frog Prince. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm wrote over 200 fairy tales in 1812. Although their work was published over 200 years ago, the stories they wrote are still being told today. Thanks to Disney, these stories have been adapted for younger audiences.
