The Little Mermaid

The Little Mermaid Hans Christian Andersen, 1836

“Before the sun rises you must plunge this knife into the heart of the prince; when the warm blood falls upon your feet they will grow together again, and form into a fish’s tail and you will be once more a mermaid.”

Forget the happy capers of Disney’s Ariel and Flounder – the original tale is a gory and depressing story about the self-sacrifice and agony of love. A young mermaid visits the sea’s surface, where she saves a prince from drowning and falls in love.

She visits a sea witch and trades her tongue for legs, even though it will feel like she’s walking on jagged swords and she’ll be turned to sea foam if the prince rejects her. The prince is mildly interested in this mute girl, particularly when she dances for him – so she does, despite the excruciating pain, and watches him marry the princess he wrongly believes saved him. The original ending saw the mermaid turn to sea foam, but it was amended to have her become a “daughter of the air” for not killing the prince, even though it would save her.

Btw if you're interested there is a gruesome background to The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Pinocchio, Snow White, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, Hercules, Pocahontas, Alice and Wonderland, Peter Pan, The Princess and the Frog, and The Lion King. (dang there's a lot)

Yeah most fairy tales were really sexual and he Grimm brothers took out that stuff and made it more gruesome and have more violence. Why do we let out children know these stories
