Did you
know that stories for children were not from them when were created? It’s
difficult to understand how the stories ended up being targeted for young
audiences, but if we search about the original sources we will be sure that
accounts were modeled with the passing of the years. For example, in the
paragraph where the wolf is in grandma’s house from the original version of “Little Red Riding Hood” the author wrote this: “After the little child
enter to the room the wolf order her to remove all her cloth and get into the
bed”, as we can see that scene was adapted. There are also other stories like:
Hansel and Gretel, in this story the witch is a ‘horrific cannibal whose house is
made of bones from children”; Blanca Nieves, where the
‘where dwarves were actually deformed but not evil’ and her enemy was her own ‘mother’ or Tom Thumb who found an ogre who delights ‘chewing kids for his
entertainment’. Although, the years pass some of this violent characters are
presented in this stories, that why I believe that are not the best option to
introduce kids to the lecture.
