What is the full story of Grimm Brothers' Little Mermaid?

No, the Little Mermaid is not a story by the Brothers Grimm. It was written by Hans Christian Andersen.

The Grimm Brothers' version of 'The Little Mermaid' is different from the more well - known Andersen's version. In the Grimm version, the mermaid saves a prince from drowning. She falls in love with him and wants to be with him. However, she faces many difficulties and challenges in her pursuit of love, including the differences between their two worlds.

Yes, the original Little Mermaid story is indeed from the Grimm Brothers.

In the Grimm Brothers' story, the little mermaid may be more independent. Unlike some other versions where she is more passive in her love, here she is more determined to be with the prince despite the odds.

Well, Andersen's 'Little Mermaid' is more well - known. But in the Brothers Grimm's version, the story might be less focused on the romantic aspect that is so central in Andersen's. The Grimm version could potentially have more elements related to the mermaid's life in the sea before she meets the human world. For example, there could be more about her family or her underwater home. And the Grimm's story might not place as much emphasis on the pain she endures for her love as Andersen's does.

In the Grimm Brothers' version, the Little Mermaid often has a more somber and darker tone compared to the Disney one. For example, the consequences she faces are more severe and less about a happy - ever - after romance. Also, the Grimm version might focus more on the harsher aspects of the mermaid's transformation and her deal - making, while Disney softens it to appeal to a wider audience, especially children.

The ending in the Grimm Brothers' story is often more tragic compared to some other versions. In the Grimm version, the Little Mermaid doesn't get a happily - ever - after with the prince like in the Disney version. Instead, she may face a more desolate fate, which really emphasizes the harshness of the decisions she made and the consequences she has to bear.

The Brothers Grimm's Little Mermaid is often darker. In the Disney version, it has a more family - friendly and romanticized ending. The Grimm version may have more elements of the original folktale's harshness and realism.

Well, for one thing, Andersen's 'The Little Mermaid' is more well - known and has been more widely adapted. In Andersen's story, the mermaid's transformation is more about her spiritual journey and the pursuit of an immortal soul. The Grimm Brothers' version is more about the basic love story. In the Grimm version, the mermaid's fate is sealed when the prince marries another woman without much else in the way of other attempts to save her situation, which is different from Andersen's where there are more twists and turns regarding her possible salvation.

The story in Grimm's collection related to the Little Mermaid is named 'The Little Sea - Maid'. It's a story that has captured the imagination of many over the years. In this story, the mermaid's journey and her experiences are detailed in a way that reflects the Grimm Brothers' style of storytelling. There are elements of magic, adventure and a touch of melancholy as the mermaid navigates the human and underwater worlds. It's a tale that has been passed down and has its own charm within the body of Grimm's fairy tales.
