    Many stories have underlying and unsolved mysteries that are intertwined into minute details of the plot line. “Gretel in Darkness” is Louise Glück’s poetic interpretation of the Gretel’s emotional aftermath in the Brothers Grimm classic tale, Hansel and Gretel. Although Glück’s poem strongly relates to Hansel and Gretel, she only vaguely mentions the major events that have harnessed such strong emotional consequences in “Gretel in Darkness.” Omitting these critical events and leaving only the outcome begins to unravel an underlying mystery of the classic children’s tale; that the stepmother and the witch are the same person. With a new vantage point on the story, a common theme of betrayal is encountered in Gretel’s lifelong quest for affection.…

    Fairytales: when someone says that word, the first thing that might come up in your mind is probably kid’s reading Cinderella. Fairytales’ simplicity and accuracy in delivering a moral to young kids and adults is wonderful. We’d give an adult a eerie look if we caught them reading a kids book on the train to themselves. The reason behind our thought is cause it’s a kids book why would an adult read it but behind all this is the difference of interpreting stories for adults and children. Stories like Juniper Tree, Snow White, and Little Red Cap include hidden messages through violence and imagery and dialogue. Fairy tales teach children how to grasp the meaning and power behind storytelling. In this paper I will discuss the vast ways in which a child and adult interpret fairytales. Its…
