You know... I just don't get why Brother Lustig is called "lustig" (= funny). I did not even laugh once. #grimm22

I haven't heard of Anne Sexton before our class. I enjoyed the sarcastic tone and the creepiness in her poems. #Grimm22

I recently found out that there is a museum about the Brothers Grimm in Kassel (Germany). I do not know if it's worth visiting (probably not from the U.S.), but I will let you know. I am going to visit the museum as soon as possible. #grimm22

I enjoyed that the Professor included French and Italian versions as well. It made the semester more interesting! #grimm22

"... the duo changed and updated their stories, which is a shift that can also be felt in the popular Disney tales. Films like Moana and Frozen are bringing women into the forefront of the story (...) as strong and independent women." You agree? #Grimm22

I loved the presentations yesterday! What I remember most is the cookbook, the modern story with the influencer, and the picture book in Spanish. #Grimm22

Now we know: It is the devil! Watch out! #grimm22

[Jasmin @jmichel3015]

As if a woman would stand up by "You stupid woman, get up!" For sure, Brother Lustig! #Grimm22

It is very interesting that the devil in "The Devil's Sooty Brother" has features like a parent. He/She washes the soldier's hair, trims his beard, and also wants to protect him from the innkeeper. The devil is kind of sympathetic in that tale. #Grimm22

My absolute favorite show as a child was "Simsala Grimm". I finally found a few episodes on YouTube in the English language. The plot is very similar to the original one. Here is the link to "The Devil With The Three Golden Hairs". #Grimm22

The second tale from "The Elves" was very weird. Why do elves ask a human to be the godmother for one of their children? #grimm22

If you are ever in Bremen (Germany), visit the Bremen Town Musicians! :-) #Grimm22

[Jasmin @jmichel3015]

The princess in "The White Snake" is like a snooty and proud child. She gives the tailor one task after the other and has to eat an apple to fall in love with him. Poor guy. #Grimm22

[Jasmin @jmichel3015]

Why does the king eat the white snake every day at noon and the servant eats it once and can understand animals immediately? #Grimm22

[Jasmin @jmichel3015]

I just don’t get over the cruelty of the mother in Juniper Tree. Even to her own child, she is a terrible person. Poor Marlenchen had a trauma for the rest of her life after she knocked off her brother’s head. #Grimm22

[Jasmin @jmichel3015]

It is so sad that it takes incredibly long for the couple to find each other again. Almost every tale I read says "for many years" or "after many years". Why do we have to wait for ages for a happy ending? #Grimm22

[Jasmin @jmichel3015]

I love the fact that the queen responded first by "guessing" the name. I can imagine Rumpelstiltskin`s sneering grin at that moment. #Grimm22

[Jasmin @jmichel3015]

Imagine: A random guy knocks at your door, asks for you as his wife and your father says: No worries, take her! I have never seen you before but you seem rich... go ahead! #grimm22

[Jasmin @jmichel3015]

In my opinion, the moral of "The Frog King" is: Do not promise something you can't/don't want to keep. Or: Don't be guided by appearances! #grimm22

[Jasmin @jmichel3015]

Because we spoke about podcasts in the last session, I thought I start listening to one. The version of Brier Rose for example is similar but not exactly the same. Have a listen! https://t.co/D0uSSYMipH #grimm22
