These tales all require some thought to come to their true understanding. I think these tales are meant to get people thinking, and they do so very effectively. But their outlying purpose is hard to discern. The only real purpose I got from any of these tales was from The Robber Bridegroom. As cynical as it sounds, I believe that The Robbers Bridegroom is about the horrors or marriage. How after you commit to something that seems to wonderful, you become trapped in a house a lone, left only to the friendship of an old woman, with your husband killing your spirit and eating your sole. Well, thats a bit dark, but hey, it makes sense.
