The Grimm Tale
Space
Throughout this tale, the author gives us
several settings in which the main character unwind himself.
When the story begins the main character
is at the farm of his father but as his father despises him because he believes
that it is a useless, he decides to part on a uncertain path to find what the word Shudder means.
From here several scenarios will appear
durring the story and our hero will suffer several disagreements untill he
finds out what the word Shudder means.
In reality the author not describes us well
the appearance of each place since the protagonist does not spend much time
there.
The first setting is the farm
were he lives with his father and brother. The second setting is the house of
the Sexton’s. He remains a few days there where the family is responsible
for the care of the bell of the area because his father want’s his son to learn
this office. As the son is useless he doesn’t learn the office and apar from that, one night pulls
down the stairs M. Sexton in a
unfortunate accident. As a result of
this he is thrown out of his house and repudiated by his father who gives him
50 dolars so he may go and find his
path.
The following scenario that
appears is a road where at the end appears a tree with several corps in it.At
the end the main character leaves this scenario and goes to a Pub where he finds a man who leads him to a
castlle. We have to take in account that untill here we didn’t knew about any
castlle. This new character is very important because he shows him the
sccenario where our main character will spend the most important time of the
story.
The king of the castlle
tells to the boy that if he wants’s to know what the word Shudder means he has
to stay 3 days in the castlle. Our character accepts and he spents 3 days there
without complications but he still doesn’t know what the word shudder means.
The boy marries the
princess with who live happilly in the castlle but he still doesn’t know what
the word shudder means and it’s the princess who shows him what the
word means.The procedure is showned at the end.
In all the work can be
appreciated that the author doesn’t have worked hard to describe the places so
it’s almost impossible for us to describe them better.
