Part 2/7:
The analysis begins with an examination of the phrase often heard in the original tale: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" This line has been the center of controversy, especially with its translation in Portuguese and other languages that lean towards implying beauty over fairness in character.
The commentary emphatically points out that beauty and character have always been intertwined within the context of the fairy tale, asserting that any interpretation stating otherwise is a misconception. The protagonists argue that the original brothers Grimm tales intended for the term "fairest" to focus on more than just physical appearance, suggesting deeper philosophical meanings tied to justice and morality.
