Answer 2.0
They are actually very different, medieval fairy tales were written for adults and were much more gruesome and graphic, while modern fairy tales are directed towards children and are much more kiddie friendly. They usually centered around some sort of "sin" and helped teach adults to steer clear of these "evils". A good example is Red Riding Hood, now a popular, not-too-gruesome children's story. The real version centered around the idea of sex out of wedlock and the implications. These stories were extremely exaggerated (i.e. RRH's werewolf) but due to the lack of education these stories were often accepted as fact by medieval peasants.
Hope this helped!!!
