Behind every fairy tale lies often a deeper psychological and cultural message. So Rotkäppchen and her encounter with the big bad wolf has a sexual side to it as well - the furry old creature is the horny Grandfather. Understanding myths is still an important skill, since our subconscious still works with rather primitive archetypes and concepts.
I can highly recommend Joseph Campbell’s Power of Myth (book, DVD, audio tapes) to anyone who wants to look deeper.
almost every fairytale -especially the grimm’s- is more than borderlined. you should never forget, that this fairytale was lived, re-invented and at least written by a human being.
rapunzel, schneewittchen, dornröschen, frau holle, der glückliche hans etc. etc. etc. - (ich mach mal auf deutsch weiter, mein englisch ist echt verrostet) - diese märchen sind nur verklaulisierte tatsachen. “wer hat angst vor dem bösen wolf?” tja.
No fakes and no insults please. Thanks!
