In this episode, Katrina and Geoff continue on with this year's curriculum project by talking about the psychoanalytic approach to fairy tales. We're talking Freud. We're talking Jung. We're talking Bruno Bettelheim's The Uses of Enchantment. But mostly we are talking about the story Snow White and Rose Red, found in the Brothers Grimm collection. In this story, a bear comes to stay with these two girls in their idyllic cottage all winter. But what can it teach a child's subconscious mind about sexuality before marriage? Everything. Or...maybe nothing. Understanding different lens and frameworks that fairy tales have been examined through is important. What's also important, is to understand when to question at what point those lens become cloudy.
