For those who aren’t fooled by light-hearted Disney escapades, often diminishing the power of its heroines, the grim undertones of fairy tales are often fascinating, the unvarnished originals often chilling in their stark depiction of human moral frailty. But the deceptively naïve tales we are familiar with today are often remarkably complex underneath, they are the sugar-coated versions of exceptionally gruesome and disturbing legends. When we think about fairy tales, our minds often wander towards princes and princesses, castles, a soupçon of magic and most of all, a happy ending.
