Jack and the magic beans
Jack and the magic beans is a very famous fairy tale told to kids for entertainment. An old man had given Jack magic beans, when he got home his mother expected money but dint get any. She grabbed the beans and threw them out the window. The next morning jack woke up went outside and found that his beans had grown into a giant tree. Jack climbed it and found a ogre house he would then robbed food, and money to take home. The ogre chased him down and he called for his mother to cut down the tree, the ogre had then fallen and died. In Enchanted there is also a similar Jack and the magic beans only it is not for kids, and has different characteristics. Jack starts of as a cold hearted person "As a professional giant killer most folks think I know a thing or two about the ugly bastards". The jack in enchanted is also different because instead of the beans growing in the floor, jack actually eats them to have magical power and strength. He has a bean for every occasion. Also instead of jack cutting the tree down to killed the ogre, in Enchanted he slays every ogre head of and saves the people from the towns. The original Jack is known for his poor living with his mother, nothing to eat as well. In Enchanted Jack seems to be respected by the people, but he is still poor and waste all his money on alcohol. The author made Jack differently from the original fairy tale to give a different point of view. In one hand Jack is an innocent boy not being suspected of anything, and in Enchanted Jack is clearly portrayed as a assassin of the ogres.
