I'm joined by my beautiful wife Paige again to discuss the symbols, the metaphors, and the message behind the story of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs. Together, we take a closer look at both the Disney version and the one published by the Grimm Brothers in 1812 and spot the main differences. We unravel the meaning behind every character's actions, the real reasons behind them, and what we believe the story's author is trying to tell us. We analyze the fairy tale's messaging on value, presence, communion with nature, and acceptance of the inevitable passage of time. We also touch on the cultural differences the tale showcases, especially on how men are women are represented. In This Episode, You Will Learn:Before we start, a bit of context about the world in which the story was created (2:01)A quick recap on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (3:18)The differences between the Grimm brothers' version and the one publicized by Disney (6:52)About the battle against time and the price we pay for fighting it (9:35)What Snow White actually represents (12:06)About what we can learn from how we show up in the world and how we deal with our emotions from the woods scene (13:35)Why do people resist fairy tales so much (21:11)Resources:Book: Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm - Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
