Personally I found a lot of the original Grimm tales and the lore they were based on to be very dark and edgy. It was Disney and his ilk that watered them down to make them more palatable. For example, in the original Sleeping Beauty, the prince didn't wake her, in stead he raped her and left. She woke up by herself and found herself several months preggers. Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Grettle, and more are equally dark. They were meant to be scary tales to warn children away from dangers.fug my bad I recently read something implying something different all together. My point still stands not all of the old tales were muh edge.
