Metaphors in Grimm's Fairy Tales: A Contradicting Perspective

Originally passed down orally, the Grimm fairy tales have been rewritten since their first draft in the 19th century to reflect the values ​​of the time. New values ​​were also added in the process of translation and introduction to Japan. Through an analysis of the first drafts, first editions, and definitive editions of "Cinderella," "Snow White," "Sleeping Beauty," and "Little Red Riding Hood," this book deciphers the layered metaphors and presents an interpretation that overturns conventional wisdom.
