Relationship of seven dwarfs?

Question

Anyone know the relationship of seven dwarts? Are they siblings, cousins, co-worker, or friends?

Answer 1

First cousins, once removed.

Answer 2

In the original story by the Brothers Grimm, when Snow White finds the dwarfs - "the dwarfs take pity on her, saying "If you will keep house for us, and cook, make beds, wash, sew, and knit, and keep everything clean and orderly, then you can stay with us, and you shall have everything that you want." They warn her to take care and let no one in when they are away delving in the mountains."

Based on that excerpt, the 7 dwarfs are all living and working together. So even though it isn't clearly stated, in all probability, they are both brothers and co-workers (if "delving" in the mountains is actually a form of work).

Walt Disney however did make them out to be brothers, based on this excerpt about the 7 Dwarfs character history:

"Dubbed "Dopey" by his brothers, this loose-limbed dwarf has never spoken a word"

Answer 3

I don't think they are related. I think they are just friends who were all the same size and moved in together. It worked. They made history. We're still talking about them!  

Answer 4

g*y lovers.

poor Dopey always has to be the 'catcher', though, never the pitcher.

That why he loves Snow White so much.

Answer 5

they are probably all brothers and co-workers because they all work together
