The VERY Messed Up Origins of Jack and the Beanstalk | Fables Explained - Jon Solo

[@JonSolo]

Thanks for watching everyone! Hope you liked this episode! (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ To those asking, from what I could find in my research the “Jack the Giant Killer” story isn’t connected to Jack and the Beanstalk like the fables we cover today are. However, they DO feature the same characters in their archetypal roles. “Jack” is the name of many young, male protagonists in many English fairy tales who also share similar character traits. Gogmagog is also used as the name of many giant characters. I’ll explain this in more detail in the episode where I break down Jack the Giant Killer!

[@tonirmspicer]

Thank story

[@mousemd]

TBH This is one that I never heard the whole story. I knew about the beans being thrown out the window. The stalk growing. Jack climbed it. He came back down followed by the giant. The stalk got chopped down, and the giant falling. Maybe I didn't remember the rest? I guess it held no interest for me

[@EmeraldEyesEsoteric]

I think the man eating giant in the clouds represents God and the deception involving beans is for you to learn through loss. Sure, you traded a far more valuable cow to get them, but if your suffering malnourished brain can make it back to Earth with some of that philosophical treasure, you could start a cult of some sort and learn to conduct profitable business. Of course you chop down the beanstalk so the giant can't reach earth. Having God follow you back down to Earth would likely result in some world ending apocalypse.

[@megwilcox9774]

[@bobblowhard8823]

True, I'm sure, but I still like JonSolo's version better.

[@pandorabryn]

Back in the day, most families slept in one bed together, so it’s not weird that Jack and his Grandma would have been “bedfellows”. Saying he was a good bedfellow just meant he didn’t kick her at night or steal the blankets. Sounds creepy to us today, but there’s nothing weird there in historical context. Love your channel... keep up the great work!

[@anniestumpy9918]

I oftentimes slept in the same bed as my grandma until the age of about 8 when we moved house.

[@hepchaos]

A couple of interesting notes to this origin. The surname of the first Jake story is Spriggan, and Spriggans are Fairy sprites from Cornwall. So the original story may have more to do with the stories of Fairies that proliferated in the earlier days of what was to become the British Isles, than at first appears. Secondly, Gogmagog is the legendary giant of Albion, who was defeated by Corineus, who was granted land for this feat, which became Cornwall. So, Cornwall twice for origin place. Lastly, and doubtfully coincidental, Gog and Magog were the demon spirits that King Solomon defeated to secure the safety of his peoples and kingdom. So the original tale of Jack and the Beanstalk may be so strange because it may have a lot more allegories in it, and you could think of it more along the lines of one of Dante's stories, than just a strange, old piece of fiction.

Actually, back when Jack Spiggins was written, central heating wasn't a thing. So it wasn't unusual for family members to share beds to stay warm during cold winter nights. Most likely Granny telling Jack about him being "a good bedfellow" means that he's not hogging the sheets, performing Dutch Ovens or snoring. Granted, some shenanigans might've been going on but most likely it was just them sharing a bed to stay warm.

Unfortunately, the Church of England who was the owner of the plot he was investigating (he found evidence of the crypt mentioned in the legends, by the way, just no bones) thought that his method of using math to calculate exactly the location of the tomb was devil worship and banned him from investigating ever again.

Sometimes a giant can figuratively represent a demon or overwhelming lifestyle sin in someone’s life or an outside bully. So if the fairy represented someone like say The Angel of the Lord, it would have been God telling Jack not to be caught up in the same lifestyle sin his dad was into...to kill it and remove any chance of going back to the giant of his familial sins...or remove the outside bully possibly by this story. If that’s it, either one of those interpretations could possibly be the moral of the story, eh?

She wanted the silver shoes when she saw them on Dorothy's feet after the Winged Monkeys couldn't kill Dorothy. And the Wicked Witch of the East cursed the Tin Woodsman's axe to chop off parts of his body until he was entirely made of tin. And a part the Tin Woodsman had to kill a bobcat to save the queen of field mice and the Cowardly Lion had to kill a monster to save the animals in the forest and become their king. It also gave us a back story about the Winged Monkeys where they were just causing pranks until they did one on a prince and his fiancee decided to tie their wings together and drown them in a river until they plead for her to spare them mercy while they were drowning and she did, by enchanting them to be slaves to a golden cap and whoever wore it.

1:50 I suppose Jack was also disappointed when he asked for all different kinds of cheese...

[@Akkordeondirigent]

I highly admire how thoroughly you´ve researched! Very interesting as always.

Fie, fye, fo, fum - Alliteration was a common rhythmic technique in Anglo-Saxon and early English poetry. Nonsense and real words would have similar beginning sounds and be chained together as part of the art of story-telling.

The earliest version is the craziest origin story ever! This version has to be made into a 🎥!

[@SlapstickGenius23]

Cool thing!

[@calikatt82]

OMG! I love that accent you did when talking about Jack and The Beanstalk, it sounded like an Italian guy like Joe Pesci.

I was always interested in the King Arthur tales as my name is Arthur. I just wondered where the idea of pulling a sword out of a stone came from It's steel in stone. The only psychological idea might be the act of delivering a baby, taking it out of it's original state and into freedom. Wonder if that would make a good video. Keep up the good work. You're the only one who puts alot of time into his work.

I've heard a number of theories. From memory, a few of the more interesting ones: 1) a memory of ancient Sarmatian religous practices (They used a sword stuck in the ground as an altar to their war god) 2) a reference/metaphors for smelting iron from ore and forging a sword. 3) "stone" was a mistranslation of "saxon". (I.e. Arthur became king by defeating and disarming the Saxons).

THANK YOU for granting my request!!

Improved not ruined I freakin love learning about fables there origins or mythology explained or Disney explained I like them all

[@ChrissehCat]

I like the version with the backstory, it makes the giant into a more of a real villain. In the other versions, it seems more like he's a victim of a break in and burglary. Always thought Jack deserved to be punished, would've given the story a moral. Also, how did the giant in those stories know about the smell of Englishmen? Was it commonplace for them to just show up and try to rob him? Where'd he get the recipe for bone bread? Someone needs to write about that!

[@b1gpapan3cr04]

Shoutout to you for these awesome videos bro. I love the research that goes into these. Keep up the good work

[@BumbleLadyBee]

The whole town being on the bean stalk reminds me of that one episode of Rick and Morty 😅

Jake from the beanstalk is also the jack from the hill with Jill....I BET YOU NEVER KNEW THAT... LOL

[@mleighqs]

I liked the last version the best, giving Jack info on his dad and talking more about his adventures on the stalk and with the giant. That other version with the ladies and the bar was just a drug trip lol :)
