In the Brothers Grimm’s “Snow White,” a beautiful princess is targeted by her jealous stepmother, a vain and wicked queen who uses a magic mirror to confirm her beauty. The queen orders a huntsman to kill Snow White, but he spares her. Snow White finds refuge with seven dwarfs, and the queen, disguised, eventually poisons her with a poisoned apple. Snow White falls into a death-like sleep, but is revived by a prince who falls in love with her. The evil queen, invited to their wedding, is forced to dance in red-hot iron shoes until she dies.
