Jacob Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1869), two brothers, and19th century scholars, leaders in the study of folklore and philology, born in Hanau , Germany and educated at the University of Marburg. ...
We found the story “Godfather Death” to be an interesting account of how one’s choices and the consequences of those choices can, and often do, lead to conflict. ...
The father is a somewhat jaded character; we deduce this from his encounters with Lord God whom he meets first but passes on because in his small view of the world he does not believe Lord God helps the poor but instead lets them starve and gives only to the rich. Therefore, the father sees Lord God as unjust. He blames Lord God for the unequal distribution of wealth. ... The only one the father views as fair and impartial is Death. He believes death makes all men equal because death takes the lives of both rich and poor. The father chooses Death, as Godfather.
Death is the perfect Godfather. ... Death gives his godson the gift to control life and death. ... As was stipulated, the Godfather determines the fate of the patient and death is chosen for the King. ... Fate has again chosen death, this time for the daughter. ... These candles show that a persons’ death is predetermined. ... The godson begs for his life, trying to use guilt as a catalyst so that Death will set him free. All is to no avail, in the end; the godson dies at the hands of his Godfather, Death. ... The godson had a choice; he was given everything and had only to follow one rule, let death take the lives that are his.
