Timeless Quality Before landing on the big screen or on printed pages, most fairytales were born through folklore passed down by generations of storytellers. Why did fairy tales stick around for so long? Take for example, Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs.

Things are just fine in her state of delusions until the mirror announces that Snow White is the prettiest, causing jealousy and leading

Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont makes her moral very clear in the story Beauty and the Beast; “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. On the other hand, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm fail to teach the moral, “Don’t talk to strangers” in the story Little Snow-White.

that Snow White, her flourishing stepdaughter, was now the "fairest one of all." In an appetent animosity, the queen decreed a woodsman to execute Snow White, who had just met the aristocratic and personable Prince, in the forest. Once there, however, the woodsman discerned he could not do the feat and exhorted the princess to hide, while he returned to the queen with a pseudo pig's heart, which he asserted appertained to Snow White.
