While I know the Disney version has some good songs, I'm not sure I've seen the movie itself, so I don't know how the prince catches them.<br /><br />The similarities with Bluebeard are mentioned in the Wikipedia page, and I thought of them. Maybe they have overlapping sources? But yes, there's a lot of material here to be explored by a Jungian analyst.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06590397694589547524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6499771778569209667.post-63340370454027101272013-06-18T18:28:07.296-07:002013-06-18T18:28:07.296-07:00When I was a child I had a very old copy (without ...When I was a child I had a very old copy (without pictures) of Grimm's Fairy Tales that wouldn't be considered suitable for kids today. I loved it and couldn't understand why Cinderella's sisters didn't cut off parts of their feet to fool the Prince (it was a bird telling him there was blood on the ground that gave them away)in the Disney version. <br /><br />Fitcher's Bird is certainly scary enough and you may be right about the women as property issue. However, those old tales have proven to be very fertile territory for Jungian psychoanalysts in particular. Bluebeard is a very similar story.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.com
