ASMR | HANSEL & GRETEL by The Brothers Grimm 1819
ASMR reading you to sleep: Hansel and Gretel by The Brothers Grimm, 1819.
Hansel and Gretel was revised and republished multiple times by The Brothers Grimm. The most substantive alteration in the text of 'Hansel and Gretel' is transformation of the children's mother into a stepmother. In both the manuscript version (1810) and the first printed edition (1812) of this well-known tale, the woodcutter's wife is identified unambiguously and repeatedly as "the mother." The second edition is equally clear in identifying the woodcutter's wife as Hansel's and Gretel's mother. However, with the fourth edition (1840) the Grimms' introduced the word 'stepmother,' although they retained the word 'mother' in some passages. The Grimms' final version of the famous tale (seventh edition, 1857) refers to the woodcutter's wife once as 'the stepmother,' twice as 'the mother,' and about a dozen times generically as 'the woman.'
Whereas the children's mother/stepmother grows harsher in succeeding editions, their father grows more introspective and milder, perhaps too mild, for he is unwilling or unable to stand up to his domineering wife. 'It would be better to share the last bit with the children,' he thinks, in a passage added already in the 1819 edition, but his wife will not listen to him.
In keeping with revisions made to other tales, Wilhelm added numerous small embellishments to "Hansel and Gretel," making the tale more dramatic, more literary, and more sentimental in succeeding editions. The most prominent example in this regard is the addition of the episode describing the children's escape from the sinister woods across a large body of water, one at a time, on the back of a duck.
