Snow White
According to Disney :
Upset by her step-
daughter’s beauty, a wicked
stepmother orders a huntsman
to take her young daughter out
into the woods and kill her,
bringing back her heart. The
huntsman can’t do it, and lets
Snow White escape into the
forest. She finds a tiny house
where singing dwarves, all
named for their defining
characteristics, live. They decide
to let her stay, to keep house for
them.
The wicked queen finds
out, via her magic mirror, that
Snow White isn’t dead, and sets
out to kill her with a poisoned
apple. Though the dwarves get
revenge by driving the queen
off the edge of a cliff, they can’t
wake Snow White…until a
passing prince comes and
awakens her with true love’s kiss.
And then they live happily ever
after.
But Originally :
In the first edition of the
story, it wasn’t a wicked step-
mother at all. It was Snow
White’s mother. And she didn’t
just want Snow White’s heart-she
wanted her lungs and liver, too.
When She discovers that the
huntsman hasn’t killed the girl,
she sets out to try to kill her in
three different ways : with and
overly tight corset, with a
poisoned comb, and finally with
a poisoned apple.
It’s not true love’s kiss that
revives Snow White, it’s a good
shake, as the prince attempts to
make off with Snow White’s glass
coffin- and the guess doesn’t
get pushed off the cliff, she’s
forced to dance herself to
death in a pair of red-hot iron
shoes. Ouch.

Rapunzel
According to Disney :
Disney’s adaptation of
Rapunzel, Tangled, is very
recent, and not very traditional.
Rapunzel gets a lot more
confidence than most other
Disney princesses, and her
prince isn’t prince at all. But the
elements of the original
Rapunzel story are there : a
beautiful princess is kept captive
by a witch, who uses the girl’s
long hair to climb in and out of a
tower prison, and it’s only when
she meets a man that she gets
to escape.
But Originally :
According to the Grimms,
the reason the wicked witch
gets to take baby Rapunzel
away is that her dad stole herbs
from the witch's garden to meet
his wife’s cravings, and when he
got caught, he agreed to hand
over his first-born. Rapunzel gets
struck in the tower, letting down
her hair for the witch, but when
a passing prince hears her
singing, he decides to pay
Rapunzel a visit himself. He visits
her, secretly, several times, and
the witch only finds out because
Rapunzel gets pregnant, and
innocently asks why her belly’s
getting so big.
In a rage, the witch cuts off the
girl’s hair, uses it to lure the
prince back into tower, then
chucks him off the top, letting
him fall into a thorn bush that
plucks out his eyes. Eventually,
though, there is a happy ending
where the couple gets back
together, and Rapunzel’s tear
heal the prince’s eyes.

ENHANCING CREATIVITY LESSON
A. Read and discuss with your friends about each character.
Minotaur
The ancient Greeks often used
monsters in their stories to warm of
dangers that lurked beyond their
homes. One such monster was the
Minotaur, a half-man, half-bull
creature that was imprisoned in
the labyrinth under the palace of
King Minos on the island of Crete.
The Minotaur ate human flesh.
Every nine years, fourteen young
people were sent into the
labyrinth to be sacrificed to the
Minotaur. The labyrinth was dark
and confusing and had many
dead ends. No one who entered
ever returned until Theseus, the
brave prince of Athens, was able
to kill the Minotaur and escape
from the labyrinth.
Medusa
Medusa was originally a mortal
Gorgon with beautiful hair.
However, she was boastful and
bragged that her hair was more
beautiful than that of the goddess
Athena. Athena punished Medusa
by changing her hair into
horrifying, snake-hair creature that
would turn anyone who looked at
her stone. Medusa’s punishment,
like that of many other morals in
Greek mythology, resulted from
her disrespect to the gods.
ENHANCING CREATIVITY LESSON
The sphinx
The sphinx was a creature with the
head, shoulders and chest of a
woman. She had the body and claws
of a lion, and the wings of a huge
bird. The sphinx strangled anyone
who could not answer her riddle. This
monster perched on the cliffs above
the road to Thebes until a prince
answer her riddle , then she killed
herself.
The Chimaera
The Chimaera was a terrifying
creature that was half lion and half
mountain goat with a snake’s tail. It
breathed fire, and its skin was so
tough that it could not be pierced.
The hero Bellerophon of Corinth Killed
this creature.
The Hydra
The Hydra proved to be one of
Hercules’s greatest challenges. This
multi-headed reptile could regrow
two heads as fast as one could be
cut off. With its fangs, poisonous
tongue and sharp claws, the Hydra
was finally killed when Hercules cut
off the first eight heads, sealed each
cut, and cut off and buried the ninth
immortal head.
