RE: "The Tale of One Who Travelled to Learn What Shivering Meant" (1812): A Dull Grimm Story?

What an outstanding post! I've dabbled in the analysis of fairy tales, but obviously not to the extent you have. Generally speaking I put them all in the 'moral lesson' to learn genre and left it at that.

The answer came to me after reading the title. Send him out on a motorcycle in a cold spring rain (or even snow). When he crashes after his shivering has inputted his steering he can use his recovery time to contemplate shivering. Simple 😂

Thanks for a wonderful effort. In spite of my frivolous answer, it made me think. That's the whole idea right?

Fairy tales belong to the world, but they are also private treasures, so we pretty much decide what is valuable in them.Hi, @bigtom13. So nice to see your comment to my post.

I like your proposal. Seems effective :D And it seems rather violent, but in the end is actually Zen, lol.

If this makes you think, I'm a winner!

That was what I would add, too. It makes one think and that's enough for me to appreciate it. I enjoy finding the little lessons in everything.

I can't think of a Tarantino movie that has a Main Point but I like them nonetheless... For example ;)

It's a nice philosophy, @manoldonchev. I think that if you like finding little lessons in everything then you have more chances to enjoy yourself and grow wiser.

Love Tarantino, btw :D
