The other two hate her, and send her out into the world with a loaf of bread and a pitcher of water. Snow-white comes to the glass mountain, and keeps house for the dwarfs. And now, when the two sisters ask the mirror who is the fairest, it answers,. They send some one thither to poison Snow-white.

See Richilda in Musaus, where the rhyme runs thus:. It is also a genuine incident that, in the end, the dwarfs make steel slippers, heat them till they are red-hot, and put them on the feet of the stepmother, who is forced to dance in them until the floor smokes. In the Pentamerone , the Kitchen-maid 2. There is a remarkable unison between this story and a Norse one, which has already become almost an historical saga. Snafridr, a most beautiful woman qvenna friduzt , wife of Herald Harfager, dies, "and her countenance was not in the slightest degree altered, but she was just as rosy as if still in life.

The King sat by the corpse and thought she would return to life, and thus he sat for three years. For the drops of blood upon the snow, compare the preface to Liebrecht's Translation of the Pentamerone , xxi. The punishment of having to dance till dead occurs also in a Danish popular saga Thiele, 1. Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm. Household Tales. Margaret Hunt, translator.

London: George Bell, , Middle of winter: Midwinter is the turning point of the seasons, the beginning of the Sun's ascendant phase. IR Return to place in story. Called Little Snow-white: Although she is as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony wood, she is named after only one of these aspects of the feminine. The King took to himself another wife: In the first edition, the version closest to its oral sources, Snow-White's jealous antagonist is her own mother. In the edition of , the Grimms here added the statement that Snow-White's mother died during childbirth, and that her father remarried, so the jealous Queen was made her stepmother Ashliman She had a wonderful looking-glass: The first 'mirrors' were pools of water.

In Greek myth, the youth Narcissus caught sight of his own reflection in a pool and fell in love with it. He gave his name to the modern psychological term narcissism which indicates an excessive preoccupation with oneself and one's own appearance and concerns. In some cultures it was believed that the reflection in a mirror represented the Soul, which is why it is bad luck to break a mirror. Seven years old: Seven is the age of transition from child to maiden.

While seven was often considered the age of transition from child to adult in past centuries, the stated age is often ignored in illustrated or film versions of the story and made to appear much older. Since the story does not mark a significant amount of time, the image of a seven-year-old child marrying the prince at the end of the story fails to appear romantic, but rather abusive. In some versions of the story, the child continues to grow into a young woman as she sleeps, proof that she is not quite dead although not quite alive either, but nonetheless justifying the dwarfs coffin-side vigilance.

HAH Return to place in story. Heart: The earliet versions of the tale used the lungs and liver instead of the heart. Lungs represent the breathe or the spirit Gr. Boar: The boar represents courage and lust. The wicked Queen ate it: Some believed that by eating certain organs one acquires the characteristics and the power of the person one eats. In this instance, the queen is trying to make Snow White's beauty her own by ingesting a part of the young girl.

Origin of “As Pure as the Driven Snow”

Great forest: The dark and mysterious forest is often a place of exile where psychological growth occurs. It symbolizes the unconscious, the realm of the psyche. It is often a threshold through which the soul encounters the perils of the unknown and survives as a wiser person. Seven: The number seven is the number of completeness and totality - it is the sum of three the number of the heavens - the triple goddess, the trinity and four the number of the earth which has four corners, four elements, four winds, four seasons, etc.

Seven is a manifestatin of the cosmic order, a symbol of perfection and fullness, and also of introspection, meditation and understanding. Return to place in story.

None of them suited her: Snow White's eating of the food, testing of the beds, and discovery by the dwarfs is similar to Goldilocks' trespassing upon the Three Bears, albeit with different results. Dwarfs: Dwarfs in symbology represent the underdeveloped and the unformed. They are pre-adolescent and not developed sexually. They live an immature and pre-individualistic form of existence that Snow White must transcend.

In the original story they are not individualised and Walt Disney by giving them names and personalities has destroyed their meaning in the story. The dwarfs are also close to the earth they mine for gold which is the incorruptible metal and they represent the unconscious and amoral forces of nature. In some traditional versions of the story, the men who rescue Snow White are robbers, not dwarves Philip Also note that the dwarfs are sexually unthreatening to Snow White thanks to their "underdeveloped" appearance.

She stayed with them: The period of time Snow White spends with the dwarfs is a period of latency and repressed desire. Snow white learns about the work ethic and is socialised into woman's domestic role, but the question of her womanhood, her sexual desirability as a woman, which was raised by her mother's mirror, has been put aside for a time. She had at last thought of something to do: The three temptations of Snow White are symbols of life beyond the cottage and they appeal to Snow White's vanity and narcissism, her need to look sexually desirable, her awareness of how she looks in a mirror.

Yellow, red, and blue silk: Yellow gold represents the soul, red the colour of blood represents the body and blue represents the intellect. I may let the worthy old woman in: Many fairy tales involve the breaking of a command or a taboo. There can be no psychological growth until the old rules are broken and the new order can flourish.

Lost her breath and fell down as if dead: The first temptation relates to Snow White's body, but the bodice laces bind her too tight and she cannot breath - breath is a symbol of the spirit.

Poisonous comb: The second temptation relates to Snow White's head and her hair. Combs were an attribute of Aphrodite, the Sirens and mermaids all symbols of female desirability. Hair is a symbol of fertility and virility, but the comb tames its wildness and its poison nearly kills her. Apple: The apple was sacred to Aphrodite and represented knowledge, especially sexual knowledge, fertility and love.

What is dark romance?

In times past, offering an apple was a symbol of love and affection Philip Hardly had she a bit of it in her mouth than she fell down dead: The apple is lodged in Snow White's throat - her organ of speech is blocked and she cannot articulate her needs or her individuality. She breathed no longer and was dead: Snow White must die to the pre-pubescent world of the dwarfs in order to be eventually reborn into the adult world as a sexually active women.

Coffin of glass: Snow White in the glass coffin is like a butterfly in the chrysalis stage, awaiting to emerge as an adult. The coffin is glass so her body is on display and continues to be an object of male desire. In this case it is his love and devotion that indirectly cause her awakening.

In either case this symbolises the fact that a girl must be awakened to womanhood by a man. Stumbled over a tree-stump: "Beginning with the edition of , the poisoned apple is dislodged when a servant accidentally stumbles while carrying the coffin to the prince's castle" Ashliman In college, I married a man who evolved into an abusive alcoholic. The story focuses on my coming to grips with having made myself a victim and empowering myself to overcome it. I wrote it for other people suffering through the same circumstances.

I wanted to show them how my attitude and conviction made a difference in my life.

Dramatic Irony

But you also write in different genres. How did this all come together? Because I had been a journalist, it made sense for me to try my hand at writing a book in the non-fiction genre. It was a cathartic experience. Sort of like taking out the trash or leaving the baggage behind to live in the present instead of the past. Fiction is the world in which I now live.

I am currently writing through the eyes and hearts of dogs. Animals, particularly dogs and horses, have always been my greatest companions.
