The episode in a nutshell

[@Satou_Rin]

In the version I performed (from The 12 Huntsmen, I was the two-eyed girl in the story. She was named Beatrice.) Beatrice was disliked because one-eyed girls were thought to be beautiful, and three-eyed girls were thought to be wise. The two-eyed daughter was seen as plain and boring.

[@lagopusvulpuz1571]

Why the hate for normalcy? My guess is the abnormal eyes were a symbolism of the other sisters craziness & out of the ordinary maybe or just unattractive because it's not healthy having missing body parts or extra ones.

In Russian version, a family had a daughter and the mother turned into a caw but they didn't know it was her. She turned into a cow becuase her daughter dropped something inside one big hole (if I remember correctly) and he re-married and the woman from her first marrige had 3 daughters (one with 1 eye with 2 eyes and with 3 eyes) and then the father left to work or something and the bullied her. Then she spend time with cow and she halped her like in this story and when her step-sisters came to spy on her she would sing. But for 3 eyed one she sang but she forgot she had 3 eyes so she didn't sing for all 3 eyes but just for 2 so she saw happened, they killed the cow blablabla same like here

Things I don't get: Why the 1-eyed and 3-eyed sisters couldn't attract anyone if the issue wasn't that they were mean (and one doesn't know that they were mean before the entire "no one wants to marry them" issue). The odd eyes were still symmetrical, and one would think personality would count. Why the 3-eyed sister didn't just hide her third eye like she did when she was with her 2-eyed sister in the field, if the third eye was the issue. Why the mother didn't just marry off the 2-eyed sister first. If the dude wants her, he wants her. Also, one down, and you don't have the eye competition going on. Why the 2-eyed sister didn't try not eating on the days when she was accompanied by her sisters. I mean, it sucks, but not as badly as losing the goat. Why the 2-eyed sister didn't run away with the goat. Why the 2-eyed sister agreed with hiding under the bed. Why the dude didn't ask about the 2-eyed sister, but instead demanded whomever could get him a golden apple. He had seen her before, and supposedly loved her rather than golden apples.

[@leirawhitehart1236]

Man, gotta say though, I kinda felt bad for the two sisters. After all, they never asked to be born that way. They never earned their appearance through wicked deeds. They didn’t do anything to deserve their lot in life. So I feel it’s kinda sad that they have little to no chance of finding love. I would have felt more sorry for them if they hadn’t killed the goat though. That’s pretty sadistic to kill and eat your own sister’s pet and laugh about it. Not to mention it was a magic goat, so that makes it even worse.

[@johanabogar8714]

[@timswondershack7769]

These were my thoughts as well. It's a more modern, sympathetic perspective because we have learned through current stories that people are not usually what they seem, and people shouldn't be judged purely on their looks. We also know that being ridiculed and othered your whole life can make you bitter, which makes the sisters seem really sympathetic, contrary to the story trying to have the listener strictly on the side of the youngest. Fairytales unfortunately had this shortcoming, being that in order to have colorful villains, they were often given deformities where the 'outside matched the inside', when in reality, evil people can too be quite beautiful. In all honesty, though I can see where this story is coming from, basically saying that being jealous and cruel will cause you only harm, but these simple types of aesops morals are difficult to justify when we know that such a black and white outlook often does more harm than good. Everyone in this story ends up coming off as petty and cold. The youngest is born beautiful, is blessed by magic and wisdom (old man giving her the info to make the magic tree, magic goat giving her food for nothing in exchange), and beloved by the first man to see her. She never had to lift a finger for things to go well for her, except not be evil, I guess. 0/10 lol

[@LostArchivist]

They were not exactly great characters inside either. The mother is worst of all though since she is neglecting her own daughter choosing her oen desire over her daughter's good.

[@NOU-iw3gb]

No one asks for deformations. It's a lottery.

[@kaylahl.1480]

That is very true but they chose to let their jealousy get the best of them and harm their sister just because she was favored over them by one guy. So I don't feel that sad for them. Regardless of whether they had two eyes or not, it's more of a problem of jealousy rather than a 'they didn't ask to be born that way' situation. There are many good people who aren't physically desirable by the common standards but the sisters chose to let the outside reflect the inside. Something that also should be considered is the fact that the mom didn't try to cheer the 2 daughters on and supported their jealousy.

[@takeyiatwitty2216]

Know this is late but you'd really like Howl's moving castle the novel it actually talks about that exact trope.

[@daregularperson]

I think it’s symbolic. The youngest child represents the greatest change. It usually is resisted, sometimes is difficult, but once that great change happens everyone (who can be) is better. The elder siblings represent potential change that is too similar to their parents (the parents are usually the ones with the problem, so a new solution is needed).

I'm a little sad that they made it seem that the sisters were turned away because they looked hideous.

To literal an interpetation. Folk lore tends to focus on symbolism. The number of eyes each sister had could represent their knowledge and experience of the world. Whence the older sister with a third eye could outwit the younger sister with two eyes. Purely a guess though.

In the Grimm version, the tree follows Two Eyes to her new home, much to her sisters’ chagrin. Karma gets them when they fall into poverty (the mother must have died) and have to go begging, which is how they meet up with Two Eyes again. She takes them in and they repent the way they treated her. I like how there is punishment here before the forgiveness and the sisters actually earn forgiveness.

Are they sure that the youngest is the biological daughter. Because to me its like shes the adopted one also from my experience the youngest one is the most loved then next is the eldest then last is the middle I would also like to add, if they can hide the eldest sisters third eye why not do it when looking for suitors she can just hide her third eye forever no one would know. Unless its hereditary then her children might get it then everyone would know and she would be killed or something

[@scp--297]

Right?

[@queensy_pearl6695]

You have point, but you overthinking a bit. In the hungarian folk tales usually the youngest child is the one who don't loved. And usually they are the smartes or the one who save his/her siblings, family. Its just a theme in it

In Russian fairy tale there is the same story except few moments. First,there was a step mother with two daughters with one and three eyes. And the two-eyed daughter was step-daughter. So that’s why they didn’t love her. Second moment-there was a cow pet,not a goat. And the other part of this story is the same.

[@babachakakati]

In Assamese folk tale there is also a story exactly like this and of course few moments were different. Seeing the similarities made me fascinated. It's crazy how folktales from different countries, languages and cultures are so similar.

For everyone saying, "she had a happy ending because she was beautiful" you need to read the full thing. First, the one eyed and three eyed sisters believed themselves prettier than their two eyed sister on account of having two eyes being "plain" and "common" Second, none of the bad things would have happened to them if they had shown basic kindness towards their sister.

these girls not always are described as blonde in the stories, that is just animator's choice to draw them that way. and also some "two-sisters" folk tales, especially asian ones, have good elder sister and bad youngest.

the table is seen as a form of nourishment. or the bringer of nourishment.in the original a wise woman shows the girl how to bring fourth the table and how to put it away. the table could be mental nourishment or maybe she was able to have the goat show her what was edible to eat, or maybe she ate bugs off the goats fleece and was able to maintain a bright attitude given her situation. well that's what i get from the metaphores. when her family kills her goat out of cruelty. the girl cry's and the wise woman reappears and tells her to bury the heart for good luck, which she manages to do. the golden apples, is something greater, something good, something beyond. one eyes is simple they only see one way and follows. three eyes is chaos like moral relativism, nothing makes sense and is clear cut. 2 eyes is duality the ability to cleave good from evil and sort out the gray areas and determine beyond and separate those greys into good and bad. the wise woman and the goat showed her good things and her family showed her what she know was hurt and sadness and what bad was. in the end when the knight showed up looking for something good and beyond and nourishment only the two eyed girl was able to give the knight what he was searching for. later in the story when the girl is happy n married in a castle two begging old woman come to her door begging for help and mercy she realizes these are her sisters and shows them mercy and kindness which in the end they repent of all the horrible things they ever did to her and then they are able so see the gift of kindness and love.

I remember us being read this story by the librarians in elementary school. They told us the author heard of the Cinderella story and just came up with this idea. Now I know the truth. It’s weird we like fairy tales as kids, start to think of them as childish, and them realize how deep they are in their simplicity. It’s like what cs Lewis said to his niece Lucy in the first page of chronicles of narnia.” By the time this book is finished you’ll think you’ll be too old for fairy tales, then when your older you’ll be old enough to read fairy tales.” I say this as a 16 year old. Thanks for these videos subscribed know.

[@Unknowncuriousity]

This story resembles my mother's childhood life so much. She was the prettier sister among the other two. Her parents never let her do anything she wanted because she was pretty and they wanted to keep her safe. While her sisters hated her for that, that she gets all the attention and care from parents. Even while arrange marriage of other sisters, my grandparents had hid my mother till her sisters were married so that their arranged husbands might rejected them and married her, it was quite common those days. The story resembles her so much. I am happy now though my mother doesn't have such a loving husband but he let's her do anything on her will though still keeps her a little on safer side. I am happy she can experience the freedom she wanted in life but still complains about her past which is quite valid.

I was told a different version of this story. The elder sisters were actually step sisters and instead of an apple tree, a huge golden pillar sprouted which no one could pull it out or make it fall or Break no matter how much effort it took. The prince of the land declared that anyone who could take out the pillar was to be rewarded. The youngest girl when she touched it with her hands, the pillar fell. The prince saw that she was lovely and fair, and he thought that she must be a divine being. So he married her.

[@gocty3605]

I love Hungarian Folk Tales, and this story is one of my favorites! However, does it ever bother anyone that upon discovering that the goat could produce a table full of food, the first reaction of the sisters and mother was to... slaughter it? Like, just keep the goat around, and you all never have to work another day in your lives because the goat can seemingly produce limitless quantities of food! It truly is sad that the pettiness of the older sisters and mother blinded them to the resolution that would have benefited everyone. Plus, if the mother wanted to marry off her eldest daughters, suitors would probably be enticed by the INFINITE FOOD TABLE GOAT.

So I grew up in Germany, and I got a CD with Fairytales on it (they were read). This tale was read too, but slightly different. One thing was that the two-eyed girl was the middle sister. The other thing was how the mother and the two other sisters found out about the goat. In German the translation for the Song the two-eyed sister sings is "one-eyed-sister, are you awake? One-eyed-sister, are you asleep?" (Einäuglein, wachst du? Einäuglein, schläfst du?) But, when the three-eyed sister spies on the two-eyed, the two-eyes forgets to "close" the third eye of the sister because of dizziness (I don't know for sure) so she sings "three-eyed sister, are you awake? Two-eyed-sister, are you asleep?" (Dreiäuglein, wachst du? Zweiäuglein, schläfst du?) Everything other in the fairytale is pretty much the same.
