Literature is one of the elements that always exist in everyday life. Fairy tales, as a form of fictional and entertaining literary work, contain many moral teachings. Brother Grimm in his collection of fairy tales entitled Die Kinder- und Hausmärchen, collects several fairy tales with the theme of the Stepmother. In this study, researchers used Einäuglein, Zweiäuglein und Dreiäuglein, Die weiße und die schwarze Braut, and Die drei Männlein im Walde as data sources. There are four research focuses in this study, namely how mitem, episodes, binary oppositions, and the representation of the stepmother character in the collection of fairy tales by Brother Grimm. Based on the results of the study, the following were found: (1) the mitem of (a) the fairy tales of Einäuglein, Zweiäuglein und Dreiäuglein consist of twenty-two mitem, (b) the fairy tales of Die weiße und die schwarze Braut consist of twenty-five mitem, and (c) the fairy tales Die drei Männlein im Walde consists of thirty mitem.
