Wilhelm Grimm
3,320 books517 followersOne year after Jakob Ludwig Karl Grimm started studying law at the University of Marburg, his younger brother, German author Wilhelm Karl Grimm, followed.
In 1825, Wilhelm married Henriette Dorothea Wild, also known as Dortchen. Together they parented four children: Jakob Grimm (1826-1826), Herman Friedrich Grimm (1828-1901), Rudolf Georg Grimm (1830-1889), and Auguste Luise Pauline Marie (1832-1919).
From 1837 to 1841, the Grimm brothers joined five of their colleague professors at the University of Göttingen to form a group, known as the Göttinger sieben. They protested against Ernst August, king of Hanover, whom they accused of violating the constitution. The king fired all seven professors.
Wilhelm Grimm died in Berlin.

I had looked forward to reading this for many years as it was supposed to be everything I tend to love: dark, gory, gothic…It definitely lived up to it all, but many of the stories were way too similar, so I ended up getting very bored and not wanting to pick up the book. However, It was nice to read the stories I am more familiar with.
I also did not enjoy the themes surrounding women. They were basically all either stupid, even, and/or offered up as some sort of prize to men in the story. I understand the period in which these were written, but it was still incredibly frustrating.
In the end, I was disappointed.
