1. Snow White
A Fairy Tale by the Brothers Grimm
In this retelling of the classic fairy tale, a young princess with skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony becomes the target of her jealous stepmother, the queen. The queen's envy drives her to repeatedly attempt to harm the princess, who finds refuge with seven dwarfs in the forest. Despite the queen's cunning and magical disguises, the princess's purity and innocence ultimately prevail, leading to her revival by a prince's kiss and the queen's downfall. This version emphasizes themes of beauty, jealousy, and the triumph of good over evil.
