THE CHILD VS THE FOREST
Environmental Identity in Jacob and Wilhelm Grimms’ “Hänsel &
Grethel”, “Little Snow White” and “Little Red-cap.”
Monday, 5 May 14
ENVIRONMENTAL
IDENTITY
Environmental identity allows an individual to form a self-concept: “a sense of
connection to some part of the nonhuman natural environment, based on history,
emotional attachment, and/or similarity that affects the way in which we perceive
and act toward the world” (Clayton 45-6).

INDUSTRY
“ … many parts … are well wooded, and adorned with a great number of beautiful
seats and villas; but we are sorry to observe such immense tracts of open heath, and
uncultivated land, which strongly indicate the want of means, or inclination to improve
it, and often reminds the traveller of uncivilized nations, where nature pursues her own
course, without the assistance of human art. “
(Griffin 142)

The “Wolf”
Monday, 5 May 14
“The grandmother lived out in the
wood, half a league from the
village, and just as Little Red-Cap
entered the wood, a wolf met her.”
(Grimm 110-1 [my emphasis])

In his work on German legal antiquities, Jacob Grimm
wrote: “Wargus, however, signifies wolf and robber
because the banished criminal becomes a resident of
the forest, just like a predatory animal, and may be
hunted, just like a wolf” (qtd in Mueller 224)
•
“Outlawing the human convict gave him the status of
wolf. Banned from the campfire, he had to live like
the four-legged wolf in the dreaded forest, there to
die or to be killed. It is this two-legged wolf that we
see tromping around the fairy tales.” (Mueller 225)

Snow White and the Forest
“But now the poor child was all alone in the great forest, and so terrified that she
looked at every leaf of every tree, and did not know what to do. Then she began to
run, and ran over sharp stones and through thorns, and the wild beasts ran past
her, but did her no harm.” (Grimm 208)
Monday, 5 May 14
Snow White “unbolt[ed] the door” (211), “let[s] herself be beguiled, and
opened the door” (212) and opens a window pane to place “her head out the
window” to grasp the infamous poisoned apple (213). It is only within the
vicinity of the cabin that her trauma transpires.
“The forest is safe and secure ... the human world means danger.”
(Murray & Heumann 69)
