Which details best support the idea that the grimms
tales are important folklore? check all that apply.
the stories the brothers grimm first collected are
brusque, blunt, absurd, comical, and tragic, and are not,
strictly speaking, "fairy tales. in fact, the grimms never
intended the tales to be read by children. the tales
are about children and families and how they reacted to
the difficult conditions under which they lived. the
grimms thought the stories and their morals emanated
naturally from the german people in an oral tradition,
and they wanted to preserve them before the tales were
lost forever. in gathering the tales, the grimms made a
unique contribution to folklore, and their kinder- und
hausmärchen (children and household tales) is even
listed by unesco in its memory of the world registry. it
was in large part their first edition, published in two
volumes in 1812 and 1815, that inspired folklorists in
europe and great britain to gather tales from their oral
traditions to preserve as part of their cultural heritage.
