Biography aphy Born in Hanau, Germany, The Brothers Grimm, were vastly known for their folklorist and linguistic contribution to German culture, and best known for Kinder- und Hausmärchen also called Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Lawyer and father to his five children, Philipp Wilhelm Grimm passed on 1796, left despair and sadness to everyone in the family. The Grimm Brothers were able to finish their education thanks to their aunt. From a small age, the Grimm brothers always showed potential. Continuing their education at Marburg University, they had intention to follow their father’s footsteps. However, their natural inclinations led them somewhere else. The study of German and foreign literature.

However, their natural inclinations led them somewhere else. The study of German and foreign literature. In 1825, Wilhelm married, but the brothers had agreed to work together and to not be separated again. In 1829, the Kaseel Library offered a vacancy for the post of curator (where they had been working since 1814) . This position should have been granted to Jacob Green, but another person, a person without any merit, got it instead.


The Grimm brothers were very angry at this injustice. Of course, they are not without jobs—their scientific works were already too famous. In 1830, Jacob Green was invited to Göttingen to become a professor of German literature and a senior librarian at the University of Göttingen. William obtained the post of junior librarian in 1831, and later, he became a full-time professor in 1835. There, the brothers worked with a group of progressive scholars. But their stay in Göttingen was short lived.

The petition supports the opening of the Brotherhood of Grimm, and two of Germany's most famous publishers, Reymer and Girtsel, propose to publish a German dictionary based on extensive science. The Grimm brothers accepted this suggestion without hesitation, and after a long period of preparation, they started to work. But they didn't have to stay in Kassel for too long—their friends helped them. Their new patron was Prince Frederick William of Prussia. They were elected to the Berlin Academy of Sciences and were granted the right to read lectures at the University of Berlin as scholars. Soon after, William and Jacob Green began to read lectures at the university and lived in Berlin until the day they died. William died on December 16, 1859, and Jacob passed on September 20, 1863.

Sum Summary

The story in question is about a couple that mourned for a child, but could not be blessed with. They lived right next to a garden, but did not dare to enter it; as a sorceress guarded it. One day, the wife saw some rapunzel out of a window, and had an immense desire for it. She begged her husband to go get some of it for her to enjoy, as her desire grew bigger. He waited until night to climb over the wall, and finally satiated his wife... for a while. She begged him once again for more, and this time, he could not get out so swiftly.

The sorceress made a deal with him. In exchange for a supply of Rapunzel, they had to trade their newborn child. He was so frightened that he agreed. After claiming the child, the sorceress named her Rapunzel, and proceeded to trap her in a tower with nothing but a single window in the ceiling, and an open window on the side. One day, the prince came riding out of the woods, and heard the sorceress call out Rapunzel from underneath the tower. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair” Rapunzel obeyed, and her beautiful golden glazed hair fell down from the top of the tower. He waited for her to leave, and used the same singing. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let down your hair”. Once again, she let her hair fall.


She ultimately ended up falling in love with him, and made up a plan for escaping the tower. Every day, he would bring a string of silk. They planned to construct a ladder from the silk, until being able to escape. That however, will never happen; as Rapunzel made the mistake to mention the prince to the sorceress. That however, will never happen; as Rapunzel made the mistake to mention the prince to the sorceress. As a punishment, cut Rapunzel’s hair and lost her in a faraway place in the woods. The prince attended their every day meeting at dawn, but instead of finding Rapunzel, he saw himself right in front of the sorceress. She pushed him off the tower, and the prince fell right onto two thorns. They poked out his eyes, and was punished by wandering in the woods, consuming only grass and roots. After a few years, the prince heard a familiar voice coming from somewhere near. He approached the voice, and reunited with his love. He recovered eyesight, and lead Rapunzel to the kingdom, were they were warmly welcomed by everyone there.

Context of the Story Social

The 19th century of German history is often referred to as the “eve of German Nationalism”. During the periods before and after the publishing of Brothers’ Grimm’s first edition of fairy tales, there was a resurgence of public backlash against German nationalism and unity. As an example, we have Johann Gottlieb Fichte, who published his Addresses to the German Nation, arguing for German nationalism and unity. Let us also not forget the involvement of the German Military, who had many encounters with Eastern Europe: Experience and Commemoration, 1812-1914. It is estimated that over 100,000 German soldiers accompanied Napoleon's Grande Armée into Russia in 1812. According to the few soldiers that have returned from such, have reassured traumatic events, and unimaginable horrors.

Historical

The Brothers Grimm story of “Rapunzel” was published on the 1812, on the nineteenth century (XIX), with another stories on a book named originally “Children's and Household Tales”. It was an adaptation of the fairy tale “Rapunzel” of Friedrich Schulz, this adaptation was written at a period were the Napoleonic wars were close to ending, and in a moment in which Germany was experimenting a flowering on culture because of Romanticism, giving to the story a thinking were liberty and love are the only things that has value.

Economic The story of the Brothers Grimm was published in the 19th century under the name "Stories of children and families", revealing the socioeconomic reality of the German territory and the consequences of its extension in the Middle Ages. The Brothers Grimm traveled to Germany, learned and collected stories from oral tradition and wrote them down in words, thus accumulating priceless treasures. They are part of this collection of more than 200 stories, such as famous stories such as The Pied Piper in Bloom of Hamelin, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, etc. There is a socio-economic reality that transcends the narrative environment of the famous Brothers Grimm, which is a stark reality that leads the characters to make desperate decisions.

Facts about the Brothers Grimm 1) They didn't actually write fairy tales

The stories they write about existed long before they popularized them in Germany, in fact the stories were part of a rich oral tradition.

2) The stories were not meant for children

The original stories included sex, intense violence, incest and cupious footnotes, and lacked the signature illustrations, which were added in later versions of the same stories. Earlier versions were famously violent and gruesome.

3) "Grimm's Fairy Tales" Was a publishing blockbuster

The collection of Fairy Tales had grown to an astounding 211 stories, which by the time included illustrations. The collection was publicly praised, and was said to "have only been outsold by Shakespeare and the Bible."

Jacob Ludwig Karl Grimm (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm (1786–1859)

4) The Grimms worked on more than fairy tales The Brothers were University-trained philologists (the study of language in historical texts) and librarians. During their time, they wrote books about mythology, and published scholarly works on linguistics and medieval studies. 5) They made changes to the original stories As an example: The cruel stepmothers in Snow White and Hansel and Gretel were natural mothers in the original versions. The brothers rewrote them as stepmothers to preserve the sanctity of motherhood.
