Happily
Ever After

The question that started this

Do fairy tales teach us how to be good, or what society wants goodness to look like?

We seem to be in a morality, taste, and judgment drought, and the world is still complex. So: what did we used to turn to for guidance? The Grimms collected these tales as evidence, not instruction — and the first edition still has the mothers who abandon their children and the punishments nobody softened. Schur gives us the toolkit. The tales give us the hard cases.

Careful before you say listen to me. Children will listen.
