ABSTRACT
In the brothers’ version, the Prince is simply hunting in the forest when he discovers the Dwarfs’ cottage and Snow White sleeping in her glass coffin. There is no kissing. The Prince in the Grimm brothers’ version is primarily interested in owning the elaborate glass and gold coffin. Disney put the Prince on a quest to find Snow White. In the Grimm brothers’ telling, also, Snow White is almost incidental to the Prince’s activities, until the coffin is dropped on the ground, dislodging the bite of poison apple from her throat and waking her up. Only then does the Prince fall in love with her.
