The Brothers GrimmThe Men Behind the StoriesJakob Ludwig Karl GrimmBorn on January 4, 1785Died on September 20, 1863Wilhelm GrimmBorn on February 24, 1786Died on December 16, 1859

The Men Behind the StoriesThe brothers were born in the Hessian province of Haunau, GermanyTheir father was a lawyer and the town clerk, however he died when Jakob was only eleven.Their family was then raised by strict guidelines of the reformed faith (mightve been a branch of Protestanism)

The Men Behind the StoriesThe brothers then went on to follow in their fathers footsteps. They studied law at the University of ManburgJakob enjoyed learning about the past and studied under Friedrich Savigny in Roman lawEven though the brothers were extremely close, Jakob went with Savigny to Paris in 1805 to help him out with his work on Roman law. Jakob then became skilled at reading old manuscriptsAnd soon became interested in medieval poetry

The Men Behind the StoriesThe brothers realized that they missed each other while Jakob was in Paris.So in 1808, Jakob becomes the private librarian to the King of Westphalia, Jerome. Jakob and Wilhelm then worked together, even though Wilhelm was often sick from asthmaOnce the new ruler of Hesse took the thrown, Jakob was out of a job. So he and Wilhelm became the second librarian and secretary, respectively, in Kassel.

RomanticismPoetry and prose flourished during this timeAuthors incorporated tales from older times and kept them alive.Women began writing under aliases Amandine Aurore Lucie Dupin a.k.a George Sands became a well known romantic writer.Many writers, musicians, and poets turned back to nature rather than science and were inspired by everyday things, rather then science.Events that Inspired the Grimm BrothersCinderellaA once cherished little girl is left to wait on her evil step-mother and step-sistersHer pious being, allowed her to get the prince. By asking for a simple branch from her father, she was able to get three gowns and beautiful glass slippers. When one slipper was lost, one sister had to lose a toe, and the other lost part of her heel. When it was finally Cinderellas turn, the shoe fit. And while she lived happily ever after, her sisters were punished by having their eyes pecked out.

RapunzelA greedy mother who desired the leafy greens (called rapunzel) that was kept in a garden by an evil sorceress. When the time came the sorceress asked for the payment of the daughter for all of the rapunzel taken from her garden.As the daughter grew up under Mother Gothels care Rapunzel became the most beautiful girl under the sun. One day, a prince was walking by and tricked Rapunzel in to meeting him They became good friends but once Mother Gothel found out, she kicked Rapunzel out into the forest and cut her hair. Once the prince came, he jumped out of the tower, survived but blinded himselfThen while traveling he found Rapunzel, his eyes grew back from her tears and they lived happily ever after

The Frog KingWho would kiss a frog? Or let the frog eat off of your plate? What about lie on the pillow right next to you?Well thats what a little girl had to do because she made a promise to the frog, which she had no intention of keeping.

All a little girl wanted was her golden ball back. So of course, when a frog offered to get it back for her, she readily made a promise with him. However, how many of you would be nice to a frog who talked to you? Little did she know that by her father forcing her to keep her promise to the frog, she also got herself a handsome prince. Moral of the Story: Be nice to everyone, you never know when you may need their help

10RumpelstiltskinNever make a deal with someone unless you know you are willing to pay the price. A short little man asks for a price each time he saves a girl from being killed (her father fooled the king into believing she could spin gold from flax). When she finally had nothing to give, he said he would take her first born.When her first child was born Rumpelstiltskin came back and said she could keep her baby if she guessed his name in 3 days.When she finally guessed correctly, he was so angry he stomped his foot and split in half

A little man, full of deals with deadly costs. 11What Did the Brothers Inspire?Movies and TV ShowsThe Brothers GrimmOnce Upon a Time Snow WhiteSleeping BeautyCinderellaLittle Red Riding HoodRapunzelPrincess and the Frog
