Were the 7 dwarfs related in Snow White?

Answer 1

That's how many dwarfs there were in the original Grimm's story. There was never a reason given as to 'Why' seven, although there aren't always seven. In some adaptations of the dwarfs there are six or eight.

Answer 2

Seven is a popular (and claimed to be an auspicious) number in myths, legends and folk stories. Almost every culture and religion has seized on seven as a "significant" number.Example are:

• The Pleiad(e)s
  
• Seas
  
• Colours in the rainbow
  
• Days of creation
  
• Deadly sins
  
• Wonders of the world
  
• Numerous Bible references

The "Seven Dwarves" is just another example of this tradition.

Answer 3

They don't say. But... who has dwarfs to seven dwarfs? I think Sneezy and Bashful are bothers. And Happy and Dopey are brothers though, if not all.

Answer 4

Sleepy, Doc, Sneezy, Grumpy, Dopey, Happy, Bashful

Answer 5

No. They are immortal beings.
