" Hansel and Gretel " (; also known as "Hansel and Grettel", "Hansel and Grethel", or "Little Brother and Little Sister"; German: Hänsel und Gret ( h) el [a] [?h?nzl? ??nt ???e?tl?]) is a well-known German fairy tale recorded by the Brothers Grimm and published in 1812. Hansel and Gretel are a young brother and sister kidnapped by a cannibalistic witch living in a forest in a house constructed of gingerbread, cake, confection, candy, and many other treats. The two children escape with their lives by outwitting her. The tale has been adapted to various media, most notably the opera Hänsel und Gretel (1893) by Engelbert Humperdinck. "Hansel and Gretel" is classified under Class 327А of the Aarne?Thompson classification system. A similar fairytale from Hungary is called Cerceruska. Plot [ edit] The story is set in medieval Germany. Hansel and Gretel are the children of a poor woodcutter. When a famine settles over the land, the woodcutter's wife (stepmother to Hansel and Gretel) decides to take the children into the woods and leave them there to fend for themselves so she and her husband will not starve to death. The woodcutter opposes the plan but finally reluctantly submits to his wife's scheme, unaware that Hansel and Gretel have overheard them. After the parents have gone to bed, Hansel sneaks out of the house and gathers as many white pebbles as he can, then returns to his room, reassuring Gretel that God will not forsake them. The next day, the family walks deep into the woods and Hansel lays a trail of white pebbles. Their father lights a fire for them in the woods, and goes to gather more wood. After a while, the kids realize the father isn't coming back. Gretel cries, but Hansel tells her all will be fine. After nightfall, they follow his shiny pebbles back to the house, arriving by morning. Their father is overjoyed, and takes them back in as he was very upset about leaving them in the first place. After a while, famine strikes again, and the stepmother insists that they take the kids back to the forest to leave them. This time, she locks the door to their room so Hansel is unable to gather pebbles. Clever Hansel crumbles up the small piece of bread he is given by his parents, and sprinkles crumbs along their path. Unfortunately, birds eat the crumbs, and they can't find their way home. After searching for a very long time, they come upon a house in the woods made of breads, cakes, and sugar. They eat from the house, as they're very hungry. While they are eating, a witch comes out and invites them inside, offering them a meal, and pretending to be a kind and friendly old woman. After feeding them, she traps them in her house and makes them do chores each day, feeding them well in order to fatten them up for eating. One day, the witch decides it is time to eat, and has Gretel light the oven and provide water for boiling her brother. After a while, the witch asks Gretel to hop in the oven to make sure it is hot enough to bake bread. Gretel, sensing the witch's intent, pretends she does not understand what the witch means. Infuriated, the witch hops into the oven herself to demonstrate what she wants, and Gretel pushes the door closed behind her, leaving "the ungodly creature to be burned to ashes". Gretel frees Hansel from the cage and the pair discover a vase full of treasure and precious stones. Putting the jewels into their clothing, the children set off for home. They arrive home to hear that their stepmother has since died from unknown causes and their father has not had a happy day since they left their home. They live happily ever after with the witch's wealth. History and analysis [ edit] Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm heard "Hansel and Gretel" from Wilhelm's friend and future wife Dortchen Wild [1] and published it in Kinder- und Hausmärchen in 1812. [2] In the Grimms' version of the tale, the woodcutter's wife is the children's biological mother and the blame for abandoning them is shared between both her and the woodcutter. In later editions, some slight revisions were made: the wife became the children's stepmother, the woodcutter opposes her scheme to abandon the children, and religious references are made. [ citation needed] The sequence where the swan helps them across the river is also an addition to later editions. Another revision was that some versions claimed the mother died from unknown causes, left the family, or remained with the husband at the end of the story. [3] The fairy tale may have originated in the medieval period of the Great Famine (1315?1317), [4] which caused desperate people to abandon young children to fend for themselves or even resort to cannibalism. Folklorists Iona and Peter Opie indicate in The Classic Fairy Tales (1974) that "Hansel and Gretel" belongs to a group of European tales especially popular in the Baltic regions, about children outwitting ogres into whose hands they have involuntarily fallen. The tale bears resemblances to the first half of Charles Perrault 's " Hop-o'-My-Thumb " (1697) and Madame d'Aulnoy 's " Finette Cendron " (1721). In both tales, abandoned children find their way home by following a trail. In "Clever Cinders", the heroine incinerates a giant by shoving him into an oven in a manner similar to Gretel's dispatch of the witch, and a ruse involving a twig in a Swedish tale resembles Hansel's trick of the dry bone. Linguist and folklorist Edward Vajda has proposed that these stories represent the remnant of a coming-of-age rite-of-passage tale extant in Proto-Indo-European society. [5] [6] A house made of confectionery is found in a 14th-century manuscript about the Land of Cockayne. [1] The fact that the mother or stepmother dies after the children kill the witch has suggested to many commentators that the mother or stepmother and the witch are metaphorically the same woman. [7] In the Russian Vasilisa the Beautiful, the stepmother likewise sends her hated stepdaughter into the forest, to borrow a light from her sister, who turns out to be Baba Yaga, who is also a cannibalistic witch. Besides highlighting the endangerment of children (as well as their own cleverness), the tales have in common a preoccupation with food and with hurting children: the mother or stepmother wants to avoid hunger, while the witch lures children to eat her house of candy so that she can then eat them. [8] Another tale of this type is the French fairy tale The Lost Children. [9] The Brothers Grimm also identified the French Finette Cendron and Hop o' My Thumb as parallel stories. [10] Cultural significance [ edit] The fairytale enjoyed a multitude of adaptations for the stage, among them the opera Hänsel und Gretel by Engelbert Humperdinck?one of today's most performed operas. [11] A contemporary reimagining of the story, Mátti Kovler 's musical fairytale Ami & Tami, was produced in Israel and the United States and subsequently released as a symphonic album. [12] [13] Elements from the story were used in the 1994 horror film Wes Craven's New Nightmare for its climax. Hansel and Gretel's trail of breadcrumbs has also inspired the name of the navigation element " breadcrumbs " that allows users to keep track of their locations within programs or documents. [14] The most recent adaption of the fairytale is Gretel & Hansel, a 2020 American dark fantasy horror film directed by Oz Perkins.

Read Full Synopsis Movie Reviews Presented by Rotten Tomatoes.
A fairy tale originally recorded by the Brothers Grimm in 1812. It's in the Public Domain, so here goes: Once upon a time, there was a brother and sister named Hansel and Gretel. Their father was a widower who had remarried, and the family was having hard times. The stepmother insists they abandon the children in the woods so they will have more food for themselves. Their loving father is completely opposed to the plan initially, but she badgers him into agreeing. Hansel overhears the plan and comes up with the idea of leaving a trail of white pebbles. The plan works and the children are able to find their way back home. The stepmother accepts her plan's failure at first, but when food becomes even more scarce, she and the woodcutter attempt to abandon the children again, this time locking the children's door to prevent them from collecting pebbles. Therefore, Hansel is forced to mark their way back via a Trail of Bread Crumbs from the bread that was supposed to be their lunch; the birds eat all the crumbs, leaving them stranded. They wander around for a while, and then they find a Gingerbread House. They are very hungry, so they start eating. The owner of the house, a Wicked Witch, calls out that she knows someone is eating her house; Hansel and Gretel don't reply. The third time, the witch goes out to meet them. She seems surprisingly friendly, and gives them a huge feast. The next day, Hansel is in a fattening pen, and Gretel is a servant. It seems that the witch eats children, once they are properly prepared. Hansel stalls for a while ? the old witch can't see well and pinches his finger to test his plumpness and he is able to trick her by holding out a bone ? but eventually she gets tired of waiting, and decides to roast him and eat as he is, along with Gretel to compensate for the supposedly measely meal. She orders Gretel to crawl in to check the oven (intending, of course, to shove her in and cook her as well), but Gretel can tell what she has in mind, and pretends she doesn't know how. When the witch bends over to demonstrate it to her, Gretel shoves her in and slams the door. The two siblings then take all of the treasures and valuables from the late witches house and return home. With the stepmother now dead and all the valuables they took from the witch, Hansel and Gretel live prosperously with their father from then on. Found in many variants across many cultures; a list of some can be found here. There are television versions of this tale, but few film versions for reasons that should be clear. The 19th century composer Engelbert Humperdinck adapted the fairy tale into an opera (premiered 1893). The opera in turn was adapted into a 1954 stop-motion animation film. Garrison Keillor deconstructs this one, as well as " Snow White " and " Cinderella ", in his short story "My Stepmother, Myself" in his book Happy To Be Here. There's a modern retelling set in WWII Poland where Hansel and Gretel are Jewish children; and that's all we're going to say about that. The Doctor Who Expanded Universe book Time Lord Fairy Tales retells it as "The Gingerbread Trap", crossing the plot over with that of the Tenth Doctor story "School Reunion". The tale may have originated during the medieval period of the Great Famine when people were driven to desperate measures. Children were abandoned to fend for themselves, and there were many reported incidents of cannibalism. A variant appears in the Dark Parables games, in which Hansel must rescue Gretel from the witch, rather than the other way around, and does so by giving her a permanent sleeping potion instead of shoving her in the oven. He aids a goddess in the process of the rescue, and she rewards him by bestowing an unusual blessing on his descendants in perpetuity. Gerda, from The Snow Queen, is one of these descendants. A translation can be found here. Adaptions and works based upon "Hansel and Gretel": Gretel and Hansel Hansel and Gretel (2007) Hansel and Gretel (2013) Hansel vs. Gretel Hansel & Gretel Get Baked Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters Hansel & Gretel: Warriors of Witchcraft Gretel and Hansel (2020) (no relation to the above-mentioned game) "Hansel and Gretel" provides examples of: Adults Are Useless: Are they ever! The children's birth mother is dead, their stepmother wants to abandon them, their father is cowardly enough to comply to his wife's wishes and the witch desires to eat them for her supper! An Aesop: Don't be too trusting of strangers. Also, strangers immediately offering you goodies and treats the minute they meet you is not a good sign. It should make you raise suspicions that they want something from you in return. Candy laid out in open sight (let alone if they're in a forest far from civilization and in the shape of a house) is a sign that this is a trap. Barefoot Poverty: Illustrations often portray one or both of the siblings going barefoot, presumably to indicate their poverty. Bears Are Bad News: One version has a grizzly bear as the Big Bad instead of the witch. Bowdlerize: In the first edition of the Grimm tales, there was no stepmother; instead both parents agreed to abandon their children. For the second edition, the Grimms changed the mother into a stepmother and added the father's reluctance to follow his wife's plan. This was part of the Grimms' effort to make the tales more palatable as family entertainment. Humperdinck's opera takes this even further, as do later adaptations influenced by it. In the opera, their mother just sends them out to pick berries in exasperation after they accidentally spill a jug of milk that was the only food item left in the house; then they stay too long playing in the forest and get lost when it gets dark. The opera also has the witch turn children into gingerbread instead of straight-up eating their flesh, has her turned into gingerbread herself instead of just burning to death, and has all her previous child victims come back to life when she dies. In VERY early versions of the story (as noted below), the witch's house is not delectable, frosting-covered gingerbread and candy. It's just normal bread, which both ramps up the famine's severity AND the witch's evilness. Big Bad: The Witch. Brother?Sister Team: Our heroes. Composite Character: In some versions of the tale, after killing the witch, the children return home and are happily reunited with their father, when they find out that their wicked (step)mother has died too. This has led some folklorists to speculate that the wicked (step)mother and the witch are in fact the same character. At least one Russian version has the stepmother and the witch be sisters. Creepy Twins: Hansel and Gretel, in the Darker and Edgier adaptations. Cultural Translation: Being a fairy tale, this is often done. A good example of older fairy tale books in Eastern Europe having the witch be Baba Yaga. Distressed Dude: Hansel is locked up in a cage and fattened up to be eaten, and it's left to his sister to bail him out. Family-Unfriendly Death: Befalls the witch. Face on a Milk Carton: In the Supernatural episode " About a Boy ", the witch no longer abducts children because of the Amber Alert system. Instead, she deages adults with a hex bag, fattens them up, and eats them. Fattening the Victim: The witch uses her gingerbread house to lure children into her home in order to fatten and cook them. Faux Affably Evil: The Witch, who pretends to be nice to Hansel and Gretel so that she can lure them into her house and eat them. Gingerbread House: Trope Maker and Trope Codifier. Although in some versions, it's made of bread, and in others, it's simply a house that the siblings recognize as occupied by smoke from the chimney, and are attracted to in an effort to beg for food, only to be caught. Guile Hero: Both siblings use their smarts to outwit both their parents and the witch. Half-Identical Twins: Our heroes are often depicted as such, although it's not stated in the original tale if they're actually twins or not. Henpecked Husband: The woodcutter, so much so that he's willing to abandon his own kids in the woods on his second wife's insistence. Happily Ever After: The children escape the witch and take all her treasures and jewels home with them, and find their stepmother has died and their father is overjoyed to see them. They live like kings from then on. Hoist by His Own Petard: The witch's death. Hope Spot: The children are able to find their way back home using the trail of pebbles, and the stepmother, while angry, initially lets it be. But when the famine worsens, the stepmother insists on abandoning them again, this time locking the door to prevent Hansel from collecting anymore pebbles. Hansel attempts to leave a breadcrumb trail, but the birds eat them. I'm a Humanitarian: The witch eats children. Kill It with Fire: The witch Laser-Guided Karma: In some versions, the children's step-mother dies for no apparent reason besides this. Lighter and Softer: The opera. The Lost Woods: The kids parents attempts to dump them in one so they won't have to worry about feeding them anymore. Lured into a Trap: The gingerbread house itself was a trap the witch set up for children. Murder by Cremation: The witch's death. No Name Given: The parents and the witch. Though in Humperdinck's opera, the parents are Peter and Gertrud and the witch is Rosine Leckermaul (literally, "Raisin Tastymuzzle"). The Nose Knows: In many versions, the witch is nearly blind, but has a keen sense of smell that lets her detect prey from a distance. Ode to Food: Considering the family lives in hunger, there are plenty of food songs in the opera. Offing the Offspring: An implication often overlooked now, but obvious to folk at the time of the tale's origin, is this: the woodcutter's wife can bear him more children once the famine has passed. Oktoberfest: In illustrations, Hansel and Gretel are almost invariably depicted wearing traditional Bavarian costumes. After all, everyone knows it'

Exhausted, they fall asleep ? and awake to find a gingerbread house that seems too good to be true. SYNOPSIS ACT I Alone at home, Hansel works on the family trade ? making brooms ? while Gretel knits stockings. They’re both horribly hungry, which distracts them from their chores. Gretel comforts her brother by showing him milk that a neighbour has given them for their supper. They dance happily, forgetting about their hunger and their chores, but are interrupted by the return of their mother, Gertrude, who is upset that they haven’t finished their work. As she scolds them, she accidentally spills the milk and insists the children go out into the woods to forage for strawberries. Their father Peter returns home. To Gertrude’s delight, it turns out he has sold enough brooms to buy food for them all ? but their relief is short-lived when Peter realizes she’s sent Hansel and Gretel out into the woods, where he knows a dangerous Witch lives. They rush off to find their children and bring them safely back home. ACT II In the woods, Hansel picks strawberries while Gretel makes a garland of flowers. All is well while they eat their berries together, but night soon falls and they run out of food. Alone and lost in the dark forest, the children become frightened. The Sandman appears, singing to them and sprinkling magical sand on their eyes, which makes them drowsy. They say their evening prayer and fall asleep. Angels appear in their dreams and comfort them with song. ACT III The Dew Fairy arrives to rouse the children. When they wake, they notice a gingerbread house, which tempts their empty stomachs. The Witch appears and takes advantage of Hansel and Gretel’s hunger to capture them both. She puts a spell on Hansel and even starts to get ready to eat him, but Gretel overhears her plan and sets her brother free. When the Witch asks her to check if the oven is hot enough yet, Gretel claims she doesn’t know how to look and asks the Witch to show her. The Witch falls for Gretel’s trick and peers into the oven. The children shove her inside and the oven explodes, which brings all of the Witch’s enchanted gingerbread children back to life. Hansel and Gretel’s mother and father finally arrive at the house. The family is reunited and safe at last, and everyone celebrates their good fortune. Listen Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (Gretel), Elisabeth Grümmer (Hansel).
