It turns out that there is a deep tragedy in fairy tales

It turns out that Snow White is such a story.

Snow White ate the poisoned apple with a desire for love that led her to a dead end. The dwarfs could not bear to bury her, they made a glass coffin and placed her there, surrounded her with flowers, and sang by her every day.

The 1937 classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" isn't about a princess and a prince. As soon as the scene begins, you will find that Snow White, who is fetching water by the well and talking to the birds, does not look like a real princess.

Later, escaping from the hunters, Snow White, who stumbled in the forest, became friends with the animals and found a place to spend the night with the help of the animals. This is an expression only found in fairy tales. We can't know what kind of kindness Snow White relies on to maintain a friendly heart, and what kind of faith can she rely on to reach a safe place in the desperate situation of escaping from death and danger.

In this way, the existence of dwarfs is also the same. Each of them has a cute name: Know-it-all, shy ghost, sleepy bug, sneeze, pistachio, muddleheaded, angry, they are the little elves that only exist in fairy tales, and they are also the trivial, cute and lively things on people themselves. Funny and lifelike avatar.

How happy is Snow White and the dwarfs singing and dancing, and how wonderful it would be if Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs were free to live? If she didn't have a wish, wouldn't Snow White eat the "Wish Apple" handed by the witch? Where does this story end?

Did the prince really show up at the end? In just a few minutes of his appearance, the chorus rang: Spring will come, and pure and beautiful love will be found. Then the fairy tale is really a hope for the waiting girl and comfort for the dead girl.

Snow White comes back to life, the prince takes her to a distant castle, she kisses every dwarf on the forehead, and they wish her happiness forever. But who knows, this is just another version of Liang Zhu Huadie?

Will there be a Snow White who refuses the wish-fulfilling apple? She said, I have no desire for pure beauty, I only love seven eccentric heads.
