Facing the threat of the evil witch: How does Gretel show her extraordinary wisdom?
In the story of "Hansel and Gretel", faced with the threat of the evil witch, Gretel successfully saved her and her brother's lives with her extraordinary wisdom and courage. This German fairy tale was collected by the Brothers Grimm in 1812. It has a history of more than two centuries, and the plot in the story still attracts the attention of countless readers.
The story of Hansel and Gretel depicts childhood facing difficult challenges and emphasizes the importance of resourcefulness and courage.
At first, the story tells that Gretel and her brother Hansel were abandoned by their parents in the forest. Because of poverty and famine, their stepmother decided to abandon the children in order to reduce the burden on the family. Although Hansel was full of uneasiness, Gretel tried to comfort him and told them that they must believe in God's arrangements. This courage and belief paved the way for their future solutions.
The twist in the story comes when they accidentally enter the witch's candy house, a surprising but dangerous place. The witch used food to lure two children into her garden, showing the insidiousness of the adult world. To everyone's surprise, the witch's true identity turned out to be an ogre. She imprisoned and confused Hansel, forcing Gretel to use her wisdom to save her brother.
"Gretel successfully escaped the witch's trap with her flexible resourcefulness and decisive actions."
As the witch prepares to put Hansel into the oven, Gretel suddenly uses her wit. She knew that even at the moment when she was about to face death, paralysis was not the answer. She pretended to be stupid and kept stalling for time, trying to reverse the crisis. When the Witch asks her to check the heat in the oven, Gretel calmly states that she doesn't know what to do, and for a moment, it's her reaction that lets the Witch's ego get the better of her.
"As long as she is willing to demonstrate," Gretel's obedience was like a sword piercing the witch's heart: the witch did what she wished, and demonstrated in front of the oven. At this moment, Gretel pushed the witch in without hesitation, finally closing the door and making this evil woman pay the price. At this moment, Gretel not only saved herself and Hansel, but also completely changed the ending of the story.
"Gretel's wisdom and bravery show that even in the worst situations, intelligence and resourcefulness are still the keys to victory."
As the story develops, the two brothers and sisters not only successfully escape the witch's control, but also discover her treasure, which brings hope and security to their future. They returned to the embrace of their families and finally found the long-lost happiness in the time of reunion.
In this story, Gretel's wisdom is not only reflected in specific actions, but also in her calmness and decisiveness in danger. This is an important value conveyed by many stories: in a crisis, never give up thinking about possibilities, because the key is how to use the resources you have.
This classic secret book has always conveyed profound truth to us, so that we should not forget to rely on wisdom to resolve difficulties in real-life challenges. Finally, this also makes us think: When you face a difficult situation, can you calmly use wisdom to solve the problem like Gretel did?
