  • Essay / Adaptations of Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm - 941

    It may be interesting to read a novel or watch a movie or show from this time period that seems similar to other things or familiar to the eyes, ears, and memories . Perhaps an archetype or group of archetypes has been noticed in the entertainment of the modern world. Some of these archetypes may come from the tales collected by the Brothers Grimm. Some archetypes are based on physical elements of the tale, things of symbolic meaning, or similar events or plot structures. In the Brothers Grimm's collected version of Hansel and Gretel, in which Hansel and Gretel get lost in the woods after being abandoned by their parents. The two siblings find a house made of candies, cookies and breads and approach it. A witch approaches the two and invites them in, locks Hansel up and chains Gretel so that she cannot flee but can work, clean and help fatten Hansel up. Hansel, aware of the witch's visual impairment, makes her believe that he is not gaining weight. The witch gets impatient and tries to trick Gretel into going halfway into the oven, but Gretel tricks the witch into doing it instead and throws her into the fire, runs away with her brother and returns with diamonds, precious stones and jewels that they had found. . The plot structure and archetype are similar to the film The Human Centipede (Tom Six). Two women are driving their car in the rain and suddenly it breaks down after hitting something. The road is in a huge shaded forest area and the girls wander around looking for shelter or a temporary home. They approach a house and ask for help, and the man wonders if they are tourists. Later, it is revealed that the man is a mad surgeon-scientist who wishes to complete this "human centipede" project...... middle of paper ...... and shouting his name out loud . In Demon Detective Neuro Nogami, the impossible task is for Yako to guess Sai's past, origin and "inspiration", which is apparently not feasible since Sai, himself, cannot remember his own past apart from the few months during which his memory is erased. of his mind. Yako is able to guess correctly and also saves her life for a while and also allows herself to be saved by Neuro. Despite other specific details and differences, archetypes have still been in use for decades, centuries, and even millennia. The old one is simply reused with slight changes in plot structure, characters and events. “Matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but only converted or changed into form.” Perhaps this is similar to archetypes, they are not necessarily created from nothing nor completely destroyed, but only modified or converted into something of similar value..
