Topic > Freud and Hansel and Gretel - 1624

Character Descriptions2) Hansel - Hansel is a 14 year old Caucasian male and his ethnicity is German. He received no formal education, but learned what he could from his father and mother while they were both alive. He is very thin and has average health at the start of the story. His social status is quite low as a person within the forest; this is because he is poor, has a lack of resources and was not born a witch. Hansel tries daily to help his father collect food, even though he is not very good at it. When Hansel has free time he likes to explore the forest.2) Gretel - Gretel is a 13 year old Caucasian female and shares her brother's ethnicity. He is equal to his brother in education, social status and health, but has different roles and activities based on gender. Gretel runs the house while her father and brother are out; her stepmother, however, does not assist her when promised.2) Witch – The witch is 112 years old, a Caucasian woman, and her ethnicity is most likely German. She has a great education as she has the means and connections with other witches to get one. Furthermore, his social status is very high and he enjoys excellent health thanks to the ointments and potions available to witches. Day after day he receives pearls, jewels and other valuables from the lower classes of the forest, as his people dominate the forest and for this reason he establishes a law for taxes without services. In a group setting, the witch collaborates with other witches to find the most effective way to obtain more valuable items.
