Yeah, as soon as they pointed out the stories as being a sort of metaphor for puberty and how the gifts from the witch were meant to make Snow White self-conscious, everything really started clicking into place, because when else would be the point that girls start becoming the most self-conscious and hyper-fixated on their appearance? Though I think one part that they missed is that the dawning of that self-consciousness during puberty may not necessarily result in narcissism and weaponization of beauty, but may actually result in the opposite and cause excessive self-criticism and a hyper-fixation on self-perceived flaws. For many girls, I think they actually experience both at the same time, as paradoxical as it sounds. Either way, it's still damaging, and the witch still wins in the end.

Such interesting Points to VIEW. From another Angle - it is interesting and worthy of note another common theme in these "fairy tales". All of the helpless innocent need RESCUING. Without the rescue they die or are abused and remain so. They are hidden away and even when searched out denied. The first theme of this is King David - sent to "sort the sheep out" as the lowest when they were searching for the boy who would be King. He was too small insignificant and worthless compared to his 11 other brothers, who considered themselves better "King" material compared; acting the part of more worthy of the role; they put themselves out on show when the "Kings Messenger" came to call. Without David. Also interesting to pay attention to, is the fact that it was ONLY THE DILIGENCE of the messenger that noticed by COUNTING their were only 11 brothers and sort after them fetching the 12th - David who just so happened to be "sent out of the way" at the time of the expected visit (like Cinderella and the slipper fitting ) and was shepherding at the time none the wiser. If the messenger had not counted the men to 12, no one would ever have known one was missing when he added them up to only 11. "Where is the other"? He asked valiantly. Knowing that they knew there was "another" they had to fetch David. No one notices that either. Beauty and the Beast. A story about the man finding the Hero within and taming the Beast within by being shown who he actually WAS in the mirror to start with; pretty much an animal in behaviour of the lowest nature. Slamming doors in ladies faces doesn't always bode well....proves your heartless I guess. Even to themselves. Cinderella. Had to be searched for as he UGLY SISTERS pretty much abused her behind closed doors and hid her away as well. When the "slipper didn't fit" they still lied she even existed. Smirking. Interesting to note the insistent messenger can sometimes be the "Saviour". But that is usually the "starring role" that is the twist in the tale as it is a tale of "for the want of a NAIL" in most "stories". No one notices or pays attention to the "little players" only the stage crashers. The strange other "fairy stories" like Goldilocks are odd as well as one has to ask what sort of girl breaks into bears off grid homesteads, eats their food and has a little sleep afterwards in their beds. She sounds like a spoilt little madam. Very odd and no one seems sure what the moral of THAT is. Leave Bears Alone probably and do not take their stuff. Not all Bears are Friendly.

Peterson and Pageau..... yes please.

This was a truely beautiful, captivating and amazing discussion on fairy tales. While I currently also really enjoy the Exodus discussion, I would be very much interested to hear a similar conversation between Dr Peterson and other experts on these old European fairy tales, their similarities, differences, and meanings. For a bit of background, I grew up in Germany with the original Grimms Märchen (also Struwwelpeter, but that is a story for another time) and have been a big fan ever since I heard and read them over and over again as a small child. From a very young age, I was intrigued to learn more about these wonderful and formative stories and have always been disappointed by "kids-friendly versions" I saw in more modern books, on TV, or in movies. The Grimms' versions are, in fact, already sometimes tuned down from older, more gruesome stories - in my opinion they don't need more taming. I have to add that I myself do not have any formal knowledge or training in literature, however, I think it is interesting and important to see these fairytales in light of history and older versions of the same or similar stories. Though the brothers Grimm are famous for writing down the versions at the time in German, there have, of course, been previous, very similar versions of the same stories by Basile, Perrault, and others, reaching far back to stories on Zeus and probably even longer. Regarding "Dornröschen" aka "sleeping beauty", it is correct to say that in the Grimms version, the princess awakes by the kiss of the prince at the right time (as many others have died before in the rose bushes), however, in an earlier Italian version called "Sun, Moon, and Talia" in the "Pentamerone" by Basile, the prince comes across the sleeping beauty, is not able to wake her but nevertheless proceeds to "gather the first fruits of love" which leaves her pregnant with twins. He leaves, she unconsciously gives birth to a boy and a girl, who then accidentally suck on her finger instead of her breast and thus remove the splinter, and the beauty wakes up. The (in this version already married) prince returns and admits to being the father of the kids and an even more gruesome story enfolds with the wife coming into the picture. In Perrault's version, the Prince's Mother is the one not fond of her son's wife and kids, which gives the story version yet another twist. In general, I think the many different possibilities of interpretations of the aspect of the long sleep in this fairy tale are extremely interesting, spreading from teenagers naturally being disconnected from their parents to the cycle of seasons from sleeping winter into sunkissed spring. In the "Rapunzel" story - in many aspects a similar story of a girl becoming a woman in circumstances where parent figures try to prevent early contact or shield her from it but fail - also Rapunzel was pregnant from her prince, and couldn't hide it any longer when her clothes didn't fit her anymore. Interestingly, the woman and mother figure hiding her in the tower is not actually her birth mother, but a sorceress. In the German as well as the earlier Italian version of "Rapunzel" called "Petrosinella" by Basile, the mother of Rapunzel craves iron-rich food such as parsley (giving the name "Petrosinella" in the Italian version) or rapunzel (a salad green / root vegetable) during her pregnancy. The sorceress catches the thieves (sometimes the pregnant mother herself, sometimes her husband who can't resist his wife's cravings) trying to steal these plants from her garden and demands the unborn child in return. Interestingly, it is again not the prince who saves the princess. The sorceress sends Rapunzel and her twins into the desert/wilderness and tricks the prince, who, in shock, falls from the tower into the thorn bushes and becomes blind. However, after wandering around blind for years, eventually, he recognizes his Rapunzel by her voice and her tears heal his blindness. Anyway, these are my two cents. I am sure Mr. Pageau has himself looked into these heavily connected earlier versions of these powerful stories during his journey of creating his own versions of these and other fairy tales. I am very much looking forward to his work, and I thank Dr Peterson dearly for bringing this topic to my attention again.

I'm excited to read Jonathan's re-interpretations of the fairytales. I'm wondering if Jonathan has spent much time with the fairytales written by George MacDonald, some of which are re-writes, some invented. George was very influential to Lewis and Tolkein, packs an immense amount of meaning, and seems to have a good grasp on a lot of the historical elements. It would be interesting to hear Jonathan's take on them.

Plenty of people are doing something, it's just their efforts are fragmented and scattered, and usually low key. They lack the hype marketing machine that major studios have.

This past semester I took a Literature course and we studied “The Classic Fairytales,” published by Norton and edited by Maria Tatar. First the book presents you with the original versions of the story, usually by Grimm or Charles Perrault, then it presents you with the ever evolving versions. Once the story is over modernized I realized that it ended being a completely different story, the ultimate themes and meanings became exactly the opposite of the originals. I thought, it would simply be better to write their own fairytales instead, but the books major motivation seemed to be, to replace and eradicate the original story, mainly due to bringing down the patriarchy and positioning women above men, sex above purity, deception and seduction above virtue, and ultimately matriarchy above patriarchy.

Hello mr jordar Peterson you really help me to get my life on track

Sleeping Beauty was always my favourite fairy tale and disney film. The meaning of it was always elusive to me though. I always thought perhaps it had to do with integrating the shadow, the darker side of the feminine with the good. When the king and queen don't invite Maleficent to Sleeping Beauty/Aurora's christening, she arrives anyway and creates much more harm than she otherwise would have. Then they hide Aurora away in the woods, which also does nothing to save her from her inevitable fate. I'm rambling a bit but I've always wondered if it was a commentary on sheltering, enforcing only the good, and not allowing room for the female child to integrate their shadow. What made me wonder this was the fact that in the Disney version Maleficent and Aurora actually have similar facial features.

When Jonathan mentioned off hand something about ‘a source he finds credible relating the Old Testament story of Sampson, as closest to the story of Christ’.. It struck me, creating a deep resonance and remembering, as well as confirmation. @Jordan B Peterson @Jonathan Pageau Much love and gratitude for you, and for everything you do. 🙏🏻 While this little comment may be the first time I have been moved to reach out to either of you, in any form.. I hope to meet you both, and greatly look forward to the meeting. God willing, and God speed, of course. 🫀🧞🧠💪🏻

Let’s go! I always enjoy a team up between Jonathan Pageau and Jordan Peterson.

One of the adult things I model to my children is that serious, intelligent, adult women are seriously and meaningfully employed in the raising and educating of their own children, and the care of a household and extended networks of family and friends. Getting a paycheck isn't the only way to model real adult work.

I think a child might not really profit from a high educated mother when he is left with a caregiver an the mother is absent...

The pain the mother feels while separated from her baby should be listened too. I am not convinced that you can be a role model for such a small child while being absent. All the baby knows is that you are leaving him. The love and attention from a mother cannot be replaced by a caregiver.

It is always such a pleasure to witness the discussions of these gentlemen

One of my favorite discussions thus far!

Thank you for everything you do Jordan. Love the suit by the way, very snazzy!

❤❤❤ Jonathan and his place on the Genesis and Exodus series' was absolutely amazing. His ability to put words to art and visa versa. Just great content! Thanks!! So excited for his upcoming projects!! Love the early era so much.❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE his intro. I never skip it. Love the classical music!

Thank you both for this conversation. It was very helpful. No matter what the topic is I find that Pageau always has interesting takes and such a clarity of thought.

thank you jonathan, it has been great to rediscover the classics with new insights into symbology, snow white and the seven dwarves, jack and the bean stalk, genie and the lamp etc.

So glad to have these 2 go deep on fairy tales. I never imagined there was so much underlying in just goofy childrens movies.

Its heartwarming to see jordan excited to discuss all these subjects.

Brilliant! There is so much meaning in this discussion - JP and JP. More please - thank you!

Fairytale and myth have captured my imagination since babyhood. Even before I could understand all the words, the sound of Mother vocalizing the sentence patterns of story, simultaneously comforted and excited me. This conversation, I feel, is not only interesting, but fundamentally important.

Interesting! I have the same feelings about stories

I found the companion book to the old Joseph Campbell Bill Moyer's series Power of Myth. I am always going over it. It's wonderful. We need this - thank you

Harmonious beautiful discussion. When the two of you meet to share your views you always leave me wanting for the discussions to never stop. I am in my Mid-50s, and you have now awakened my childhood memories as these are some of the stories l had to read over and over to improve my English. At least l can now re-read those Fairy Stories with a different mindset.

I was a little taken back when there was music at the beginning of Dr. Petersons lecture in Seattle that I attended. I didn't think it was appropriate at first, or fit the mood/theme, but by the end of it, my mind was changed. It really did help focus the audience in a way I didn't expect to work so well.

I always enjoy the conversations with Jonathan. Two brilliant minds. The writing part has helped me ion my retirement to not only stay busy and keep my mind active, but to also take control of the "society inside the story" in a way that you want it to be, not what we see going on today. I am now into chapter 7 of a Spiritual Fiction story about our current events and what if GOD has had enough of all this nonsense and actually said, "No more", and does something before the 2nd Coming, as Revelation shows. If we just keep listening to the news it will make you wonder where is this all headed in a very bad way.

Wow, the mirror / cellphone stuff hit home. As a 54 year old man, whose desire is to compete against young, strong, effective men, I often get caught up in the world of comparison. I was blown away by the "capitalist machine giving us what we want, and also WHAT WE HATE..." wow. I need to really soak in these ideas.

Good evening Jordan and Jonathan I continue to follow your works and have done for a few years now. Gained so much from your shared knowledge and creativity. FOREVER Grateful.😀 Loving this specific discussion, would love to finally give up my eighteen year nurse career and be part of something as wonderful and meaningful as re writing our fairytale forever after stories. This for me would be my families 'Happy ever afrer ending'! Too. Time to shift direction and indeed momentum. If you ever require a Mental Health Addiction lead on your team.😇 Thankyou. 💜

As a girl who went through teen years, I would say.. The witch offered "beautifying things" to Snow White because she knows that as a teen girl living with dwarfs, the girl will want something feminine, something she does not have access to in her current environment. I would say the apple bite represents Snow White taking the risk of trusting a stranger (something the dwarfs wanted her about, but as the child she is curiosity is stronger than poorly understood warnings). It's a very useful element for parents to tell young kids "You see why I tell you not to accept gifts from strangers?". Clasics are useful, there is beauty but 'useful beauty' in a story makes it continue for generations. The magic mirror represents the window of reality the witch gets. Totally framed by her own mind full of insecurity and ego

I think you're wrong tbh but fair enough. Pageau I think was closer.

Best suit I have ever seen in my entire life.

Dr. Peterson, I had no idea you were so creative. I love it.

these two are bound to set my head on fire-sorry I am posting from my phone-so brilliant and “prophetic”

"Why is Bilbo a thief?" I've heard it mentioned that The Hobbit is basically a telling of King Beowulf's Passing (Beowulf and the Dragon) from the point of view of one of Beowulf's companions, who steals a cup which awakens the dragon.

Same. Daughter read Beowulf in HS and we recognized it. Tolkien translated Beowulf.

This hit home. It is very similar to what I am trying to create with the video game I am making. It is a malleable foundational story in the hands of the player, directly inspired by the classic hero's journey, world mythology, fairy tales and folklore in a fantasy medieval setting. I believe the medium has exceptional capabilities compared to other ways of telling stories, as the end user will be an active participant and can influence the story, compared to being a passive recipient. Thanks for this, definitely some inspiration for me to draw on from here. I need to watch Jason and the Argonauts, for one.

Great conversation, guys.

Totally fascinating listening to these good general men talk it gives me hope for the future.

Tellement intéressant ce Jonathan 🙏 Merci 🙏

Amazing!

Thanks for this unusual and interesting discussion. Very stimulating, as are all of Dr Peterson's interviews. i hope Jonathan's project goes well and that the ARC will grow from strength to strength.

Jordan's conversations with Jonathan are at another level. The subjects discussed almost don't matter. Great pleasure may be derived from listening (and watching) two friends in deep, animated and enthusiastic discussion. Thank you gentlemen.

I’m reminded of Season 10, Episode 6 of Criminal Minds where Spencer explains the actual function of these fairy tales: the original stories of Snow White, Sleeping Beauty etc were very gruesome to let children safely confront their darkest fears. I suspect horror movies and stories function in a similar way.

Thank you for lighting us up

Need the Disney deep analysis series🎉

This has convinced me to never mess with AI again. They have a point. It is, in a way, hyper divination.

Brilliant conversation. Dimensions of perspective added to my view of stories. Always grateful for the opportunity to hear people talk about meaningful topics.

I'd love to see them analyze the myth of Cupid and Psyche.

That's a snappy suit

Yes so much yes

Always so refreshing and full of clarity 💗 thank y'all so much.

I cannot describe the excitement this conversation invokes in me

Brilliant conversion. Love the idea of a new way of story telling. I bought a new set of The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings for our granddaughter. We started reading the The Hobbit together; different than our daughter reading them on her own, at a slightly older age. Turns out she like us doing this together, so we're only reading this book here at our home. My granddaughter reads a couple of pages and then I will and switch again. We pause constantly to talk about a character, or a setting, or a piece of language, or question. It's the same story everyone else has already read, but it's different now, slowing the pace down and beating up any verse worth the effort -- it's great. Of course at this pace our granddaughter could be in university before we get through the book, and that's just a fine way to spend time with her.
