In this story a lovely young woman is demanded to dress and become a servant by her evil stepmother, because the step mother is jealous of Snow White's beauty. So everyday the evil stepmother goes to her mirror on the wall and asks it, "mirror mirror on the wall, whose the fairest of them all?" Every time the mirror answers in the stepmother's favor, but one day the mirror tells the stepmother Snow White is the fairest of them all. This infuriates the stepmother and she orders her huntsman to take Snow White into the forest and kill her. The huntsman take her into the forest but can not kill her, so they let her go free. Snow White than finds a cottage with ten dwarfs in it and they allow her too stay as long as she cooks, and cleans for them. Than one day the evil stepmother appears, but disguised, and gives Snow White an poisonous apple and Snow White eats it. She than faints and and the dwarfs find her thinking she is dead, and place her in a coffin. Later on a prince finds her and is attracted to her beauty, kisses her, she awakes, and they get married, and live happily ever after.
These stories are some what similar because they both tell of a beautiful woman, and a prince looking for his princess. The women may not have too do much to prove they are worthy for the prince, but they prove themselves anyways. Than in the end both women marry the princes, and go off to live happily ever after.
There are also some differences in these two stories. Probably more differences than there are, similarities, but this is what makes the two stories different.
Both stories morals are basically the same, "not all everyone is fit for a prince," or "if you are patient good things will come to you."
