Rumpelstiltskin
by Teodora Sirko / Brothers
Grimm |
Under the disguise of a kind and well-meaning person,
Rumpelstiltskin, a cunning dwarf, helps the miller’s
daughter to spin straw into gold, thus saving her
from the king’s punishment and offering her
the chance to become queen. But he soon reveals
his wicked nature, when he tries to take away the
queen’s child, by means of a strange game.
Luckily, he is beaten at his own game and is forced
to leave humiliated and ashamed.
“This
is a softer and more sympathetic retelling of Grimm’s
Rumpelstiltskin, in which the greedy king is humanized
by his love for the miller’s daughter and
by his repentance for his greed and Rumpelstiltskin
appears less scary and more funny than in other
versions”.
