Cira interviews Lit Mag staff members, Lexi (In Submissions) and Jess (In art) who discussed the dark and taboo references in the Grimm Brothers’ fairytale interpretations. We answer big questions like “How do fairy tales contribute to historical literature?” and “Why are Grimm Brother’s fairytales so gruesome and disturbing?” We decide that fairytales serve as cautionary tales for children living in difficult periods. Stay tuned and join us for our following episode. We are a student-led literary magazine part of Alamo Heights High School in San Antonio, Texas. We greatly appreciate your support and recognition, please subscribe and add our podcast to your library at https://open.spotify.com/user/u5w6r3tbqbstw5arx6tuml0gw?si=ZPksZ1jRTA6unCv9-x-KdA, keep in touch with us at https://www.ahhslitmag.com/ and follow our Instagram, where we post updates, writing prompts, submission dates and more! https://instagram.com/jabbstagram
