The stories in the past and present are way different. In the originals, there is different wording, more gory, wasn’t meant for kids at the time, and was darker. In some of the originals, the Grimm brothers talked about the stepmoms killing the daughter, and how they were going to eat them. They sent hit mans after them for goodness sake. In the present stories, they are meant for children, and the stories have happy endings, the originals do as well, however there is no gory parts in the present ones. All of them are family friendly. However the stories are not realistic. And the topics that are written wouldn’t actually happen; Stepmoms are evil, hit mans are good people, and often, the “nobody” (girl) would fall in love with the prince. First, it is crucial to understand that in the stories, the stepmoms are evil. In Hansel and Gretel, the mom forced the father to take the children to the forest and leave them there. In Snow White, the step mom sent a hit man after her, and told the hit man to bring back her liver and lung so she can eat it for dinner. Nowadays, if a stepmom wanted you dead, she would either be divorced, or in jail because she is a dangerous person. Also in Rapunzel, the so called “stepmom” was really a witch. However, Rapunzel called her mother or mom. She kept Rapunzel captive in a tower her whole life. Lastly, in Cinderella, the stepmom made Cinderella a work slave because the step mom thought she was worthless, and only cared for her real daughter.
