Reading Notes A: Grimm

For this set of reading notes I plan on focusing on the story of hansel and grethel. Something that could be pretty cool would be to switch the roles of hansel and grethel and the parents. Since the kids overheard the parents talking about leaving them in the forest, the kids take action and leave the parents in the forest for dead. Or maybe add some background on the witch that tries to eat them. Maybe she had some hardship in her life that made her want to eat children, who knows. Maybe she lost children of her own or cooked her own children, but it would be nice to add some background to why some of these villains in these stories do what they do.
