Michelle,
I agree with you. The Grimms should not be criticized from our point of view. All writers are a product of their society and time.

I will always think highly of the Grimms Fairy tales. No matter what all the critics think, they were written in the Grimms’ time so, of course, they would reflect the social mores and customs of the time.
