What is the problem in Hansel and Gretel?

Answer 1

There is much to think about in "Hansel and Gretel." On one level it is all about eating and being eaten. Eating is a terribly important part of a child's life, and fears of being eaten loom large in their nightmare fantasies. The story has an eating theme from beginning to end:

* The family is going hungry because it is poor, and so the children must be sent into the forest. * They are given bread, and they leave a trail of breadcrumbs. * Birds eat the breadcrumbs. * The children find a gingerbread house and break off a piece to eat. * The witch catches them and decides to eat Hansel. * First she must fatten him up, so she feeds him. * Gretel kills the witch by pushing her into the oven. Many other fears of children are embodied in this tale, from fear of abandonment to a caution about the kindly person who means them harm. It engages the young mind at a very subconscious level and teaches the child that very bad things can and do happen but that they can be survived and overcome.

Answer 2

it:s heavy stuff, Homeless children out looking for a safe abode, and using a primitive homing device that does not work! getting lost in the woods, and so on. Somewhat oddly a plot crossover in modern times and about another fictional type- Senior Citizens gone murderous- crossing the Arsenic and Old Lace plot lines with Hansel and Gretel formed the basis of an intriguing and barely plausible story in the old Jackson Twins comic strip. The weird woman was mentally ill- and a music fan! it"s a strange tale from a sixties comic strip.

Answer 3

Hansel and Gretal were boyfriend and girlfriend. They were both 14 years old. They both had red hair. They were both extremely attractive and friendly, and they were tall. One day they decided to go for a walk through the woods. They were stolling along, when they saw a giant gingerbread house. Hansel said he would go see what was inside. Gretal stayed outside. About a half an hour had past, and Hansel still hadn't came out. Gretal decided to go look in one of the windows. She looked in. There was a witch inside. She had tied up Hansel, and put a gag over his mouth. "I am going to roast you alive," the witch said. Gretal was shocked. She didn't have much time to spare. She was thinking of ways to rescue her boyfriend. When Hansel got on the stove to be cooked, Gretal burst in and shoved the witch into the oven. She removed the gag from Hansel, and then untied him. Gretal had saved Hansel's life, and they lived happily ever after.
