    She continues telling Snow-White that she is simply selling things but what Snow-White doesn’t realize is that the “elderly woman” is really her stepmother who is trying to poison her with the items she is “selling”.

    When reading Anne Sexton and the Grimm’s versions of the tale the reader may begin to be very disappointed and think there has to be more to Snow White than her “China-blue doll eyes” (Schacker et al., 386).
