I chose this story by Jakob and Wilhem Grimm for my position paper because it teaches us about the outcome of greed when it is abused. In the story “Godfather Death,” the Grimm brothers were trying to give the readers an example of what could happen when all you care about is fame and/or power, and all you think about is “yourself” taking for granted the love someone is caring to share with you. I personally think that this is an interesting story to study as it has some moral values which one can discover and gain knowledge from. We can all benefit from reading this text as it educates us about the negative side of being greedy and selfishness. The godson's desire for more than just mere recognition started when his lust for more wealth and power brings to his downfall in the end of the story. We should all be grateful for the things we have in life as it is God's will and we should to appreciate the people around us.
