Snow White

In class, we have been reading the different versions of Snow White. I have to say that my favorite version of Snow White is the one collected by Brothers Grim. This is most likely because I grew up watching Snow White as a young girl, and even played the Bashful Dwarf in a ballet. I enjoyed it because of how frightening the stepmom can be in this version of the story. It's almost shocking however how naive Snow White can be. Her character is a stark contrast compared to that of the stepmother. It's interesting because in society today many woman who are strong and independent are viewed like the evil stepmother. Martha Stewart for example made an empire out of nothing but is seen as a scary rude person. However, if a man was as successful as Martha Stewart, society would see him as smart and cunning. It is amazing how society has changed in many ways since the 1800s but still remains very similar.
