Wolves tearing elderly women across. Witches luring children towards them to make dinner out of them. The Fairy tales were old folk tales told by people who lived very wretched and difficult lives. They lived lives dominated by fear, superstition and cruelty and told stories that matched their lives.
People will tell the tales that reflect their lives- sadly the most sordid and nasty seem to draw the crowds and get recorded.
When you present stories, Do you tell ones that inspire and motivate or ones that seem to disempower and just appear to focus on luridness?
