Classic fairy tales were horror shows meant to teach important life lessons for their times. They say a lot about the cultures that told them. Like just how insanely many are about teaching women about the importance of being a "good wife" or marrying up the socio-economic ladder. At least the rest of them are about why you shouldn't trust hobos living under bridges or some shit.
Buddy, read better fairytales, damn.
The ones I grew up with emphasized the power of sorceress', and made the "hobos under the bridge" just people, as they are.
