The interpretation of old stories or fairytales over the history surpases barriers of what the original tales was probably intended to. We have all heard at least one and now a days we have seen more than one interpretation of each one of them. The concept or moral of the story is usually kept as it's usually the core of the plot; the characters, depending on their importance vary in looks and slight behaviour but it usually swings around the same concept.
This is a bast topic to tackle, but if they where copyrighted there's no doubt that the authors of every fairytale would be filthy rich.
Examples below are the stories of Rapunzel and Snow White; both simple, yet with small variations it has been taken in diferent adaptations, from animation, film, teathre, dance, illustrations, photography and probably many other medias just with the only purpose of delivering the core message of their own personal stories. It's fascinating to know how attractive and versitile simple stories can become even after hundreds of years of its creation.
