Poison apple from snow white

Literature / Snow White

Edit Locked

Once upon a time, a little girl was born that was exceptionally beautiful. Due to jealousy, a wicked witch wanted her dead. She ended up being raised in fosterage in the forest by magical dwarfs, but eventually the queen found a way to poison her and put her in a coma resistant to aging. Eventually, Prince Charming showed up, kissed the girl and woke her up, and slew the evil witch.

But then, this article isn’t about «Sleeping Beauty».

A queen wishes for a child with lips as red as blood, hair as black as ebony, and skin as white as snow. She gets her wish and names the child Snow White, but promptly dies and is replaced by a Wicked Stepmother who prides herself on her great beauty. Every day the stepmother asks her magic mirror:

And every day the mirror assures the queen that she was the most beautiful.

Snow White is a beautiful child, however, and when she turns seven, the mirror replies that she, and not the queen, is the fairest. The queen isn’t having any of that, so she orders her faithful huntsman to cut out Snow White’s heart and give it to her to eat. The huntsman has some trouble with this, so he lets Snow White go and gives the queen the heart of a boar instead.

After some time wandering in the woods, Snow White falls in with a bunch of dwarfs, who let her stay with them in exchange for doing the housework. The mirror tips the queen off to Snow White’s continued existence, however, so she disguises herself as a peddler and makes three assassination attempts; firstly by pulling Snow White’s corset-laces too tight, secondly by selling her a poisoned comb, and thirdly with a poisoned apple. After each attempt, the dwarfs come home to find Snow White unconscious. While they succeed in reviving her the first two times, the third has more sticking power, and they have to admit that she’s dead for good.

She is too beautiful for them to bury her in good conscience, though, so they build a glass coffin and take turns keeping guard. Fortunately for everyone involved, she does not decay, but remains so fresh and beautiful that a passing prince just has to have her. The dwarfs are reluctant at first, but eventually let him take the glass coffin. Thanks to a clumsy servant, the coffin is jolted, dislodging the piece of apple and reviving Snow White. Apparently the prince likes her almost as much when she’s awake, and they marry. Hopefully, she’s a bit older than seven by now, but you never know.

The evil queen comes to their wedding and is forced to dance to death in red-hot iron shoes. Everyone else lives Happily Ever After.

«Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs» is one of the best known of the Grimms’ stories, although it existed in numerous countries before being compiled into their Children’s and Household Tales. It was one of the early victims of their bowdlerising edits; they changed the antagonist from Snow White’s biological mother to a Wicked Stepmother.

Because of Snow White’s unusual appearance and the disturbing psychological issues in the story, «Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs» is frequently subject to Grimmification or Darker and Edgier treatment. One such example is a 1997 horror version with Sigourney Weaver as the queen. There’s also a 2001 version subtitled Fairest of Them All with Miranda Richardson as the queen and Kristin Kreuk as Snow White, and rainbow dwarves, named after the days of the week. Finally, let’s not forget Neil Gaiman’s short story «Snow, Glass, Apples«, where we have a perspective flip that takes some of the more eerie parts of the story, and makes them much much worse.

By far the most well-known adaptation of this story is Disney’s first full-length animated feature, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Other adaptations have varied from Snow White and the Three Stooges to Prétear, which rewrites it as a Magical Girl Warrior show, the very loose Betty Boop adaptation entitled only as Snow White (1933) and then there’s Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs, which would be a side-splitter had not excessive Uncle Tomfoolery ruined it. It was also one of the tales adapted in Grimm’s Fairy Tale Classics.

In recent years, more Action Girl-style portrayals of Snow White have come to the fore. Sword and Sorceress XXVII‘s introduction contrasted Snow White’s portrayal in the Grimm and Disney versions with that of modern versions like Snow White and the Huntsman, Mirror, Mirror, and Once Upon a Time. Anthology editor Elizabeth Waters says:

Note that this specifically refers to the Brothers Grimm version and adaptations thereof, rather than any of the other fairytales of Aarne-Thompson type #709, «Snow White» (such as «Gold-Tree and Silver-Tree,» in which the Snow White character is married off by her father to get her away from her insane mother, or the memorable version in which Snow White stays with FORTY DRAGONS.)
