Eating and Food in this Story (Clip)

(From a discussion on the Brothers Grimm’s “The Juniper Tree.”) There is a lot of eating and food in this dark story, including cannibalism.  The wish for a child at the beginning, the devouring of the tormented boy, the interrupted meal, the implement of revenge on the stepmother.  It is related to the mother’s fertility and protection.

(Sorry about the bad sound on my end.  It’s been corrected in future episodes.)
