History Literature / SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs

* PapaWolf: In some scottish versions, the Huntsman is Snow White's father. While he can't oppose his lover, he can still send their child away.

Other adaptations have varied from ''Film/SnowWhiteAndTheThreeStooges'' to ''Manga/{{Pretear}}'', which rewrites it as a MagicalGirlWarrior show, the very loose WesternAnimation/BettyBoop adaptation entitled only as ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhite'' and then there's ''WesternAnimation/CoalBlackAndDeSebbenDwarfs'', which would be a side-splitter had not excessive UncleTomfoolery [[ValuesDissonance ruined it]].

* OffingTheOffspring

* HistoricalFiction: Gregory Maguire's version called Mirror Mirror takes place in Italy, with Lucrezia Borgia as the wicked witch.

* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: The dwarfs can't bear to bury Snow, so they put her in a glass coffin (in some versions) or simply leave her lying on the bier (in others).
* NamedInTheAdaptation: The [[NoNameGiven nameless]] dwarfs tend to get this.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Almost everyone gets this many diffrent adaptions.
** In one musical adaption called ''Genealogy of Red, White and Black'' Snow White's birth mother abuses her, which starts Snow White's SanitySlippage, but she completly snaps after Prince "Charming" rapes her, causing her to shed her AllLovingHeroine persona and go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
** An adaption by the band {{SoundHorizon}}, has another intresting spin on the girl. Snow White is accidently awoken by the Necorphilac Prince who becomes absolutely distraught at the sight of the beautiful "corpse" coming back to life. She then forces him to marry her and tortures the Queen, [[spoiler: who's implied to be her real mother turned abusive, [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness the role of "step-mother" being an imposed image by Snow White]]]], to death while [[LaughingMad cackling like a mad woman]].

Once upon a time, a little girl was born that was exceptionally beautiful. Due to jealousy, a wicked witch wanted her dead. She ended up being raised in fosterage in the forest by magical midgets, but eventually the queen found a way to poison her and put her in a coma resistant to aging. Eventually, Prince Charming showed up, kissed the girl and woke her up, and slew the evil witch.

* LighterAndSofter: Russian version by AlexanderPushkin removes the most gruesome and squicky aspects of the story. The Queen doesn't want to eat her step-daughter's heart - "just" have her left in the forest to die; the prince doesn't fall in love with a corpse - he was engaged to her even before the kidnapping and when he finds her, he breaks the coffin in grief, and she's revived by the PowerOfLove; and they don't make the Queen dance in red-hot iron shoes (because people don't do such sick stuff in Russia!) and she just dies of spite and envy (or maybe kills herself) after learning that the princess is alive and recovered.

Because of Snow White's rather [[{{Goth}} unusual]] [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette appearance]] and the disturbing psychological issues in the story, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is frequently subject to {{Grimmification}} or DarkerAndEdgier treatment. One such example is a [[Film/SnowWhiteATaleofTerror 1997 horror version]] with Creator/SigourneyWeaver as the queen. There's also a 2001 version subtitled [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0255605/ Fairest of Them All]] with Miranda Richardson as the queen and Kristin Kreuk as Snow White, and [[RainbowMotif rainbow dwarves]], named after the days of the week. Finally, let's not forget Creator/NeilGaiman's short story "[[http://thedreaming.holycow.com/1999/10/10/snow-glass-apples/ Snow, Glass, and Apples]]", where we have a perspective flip that takes some of the more eerie parts of the story, and makes them much much worse.

** "Snow, Glass, Apples", by NeilGaiman, is also told from the perspective of the Queen, who came to realize that Snow White's father died because [[spoiler:the little girl was sucking his blood (and [[LampshadedDoubleEntendre other]] [[{{Squick}} parts]] [[ParentalIncest of]] him). The queen eventually succeeds in poisoning Snow White with the apple, but the prince who finds her is explicitly stated to be a necrophiliac who wants her ''because'' she's dead. The two marry and shut the stepmother up in an oven. The queen is narrating the story while being ''roasted alive''.]]

* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: The seven dwarfs are short and mine for ore, otherwise there are no other explicitly mentioned traits they seem have in common with dwarf/dwarves in modern (read: [[Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium post-Tolkien]]) fantasy literature.
