Here's an interesting fact... The Telltale Heart is narratorated entirely in first person, and the gender of the speaker is never revealed. It's always assumed to be a man, but it COULD technically be a woman. Rereading the story from the perspective of a female narrator gives an interesting new perspective on the classic tale.

Fun fact: Emily Dickinson’s sister, and I believe her publisher, took the poems they found wrapped in twine AND REARRANGED THEM. They did NOT leave her work in the original order that Emily wrote it in. From what I remember learning about her in university, it was a matter of how the public would like it and sell-ability that influenced this decision. So because of this if you read her work in book form there might be poems that feel like they match in theme but they aren’t back to back in order. Because they were rearranged to be mixed up.

The Brothers Grimm didn't write the fairy tales. They collected different versions from different countries. There are plenty of clean versions of these lessons. Because that's what fairy tales were, lessons. The Grimm versions weren't the only ones out there, and Disney didn't clean up every one, they used different versions. If I'm remembering right the version of Cinderella they used was French, a much cleaner version where she gets glass slippers, a pumpkin carriage, mice who turned into horsemen, you get my point. Every culture has versions of these fairy tales, all at different degrees and with different messages. (Also fun fact I think one of the first Cinderella stories comes from Egypt? A woman's shoe went flying and hit the ruler of the area in the head. He searched for the owner of the shoe and they fell in love. Something like that.)

But also the Grimm brothers were German and Germany had a history of disturbing children’s book. (I’m German) In two of the most iconic children’s books the main Charakters get either crushed to death or set on fire. A really well known songs is about a man shooting a fox who stole a geese. There are also many short stories where just all the children die. So in that context the Grimm stories do make sense haha

As an adult I am a huge fan of Hannibal TV series, and I recently remembered that one of my favorite fairtales as a child had cannibalistic component to it (a boy and a dragon fly on a dangerous adventure, dragon gets exhausted and hungry (and landing is not an option for some reason), so the boy cuts off the piece his flesh and feeds it to the dragon). Like what?!

So I know it's a pain to read a book that long, but I can't reccommend it enough. Also there's good audiobooks on that book if you just want to listen to it. 10/10, It is my favourite of Dostoyevski.
