“Original” fairy tales, like those recorded by the Brothers Grimm, often contain violence.

Others argue that contemporary “sanitized” fairy tales still convey the main themes of the tales and are far more appropriate for children. How do you feel about this issue? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your answer.
