Kissing the witch blog 3
I apologize for the extremely late post. I am lame. It wont happen again.
- My favorite story would have to be “The Tale of the Rose”. I think the story is a very interesting rendition. I think it has a great message and a surprising, yet meaningful twist at the end. This is a Disney princess story told with the princess choosing who she falls in love with, whether it be a prince or not. This story was made very modern and the lessons were something I feel are very important. I think the story that best captures the situation of women today would have to be “The Tale of the Handkerchief”, or “The Tale of the Rose”. Women today don’t sit idly by and wait for things to be done for them. They go out and get what they want. They want to act, and participate and do things for themselves for the most part. It also shows there is a lot of competition, and that women will fight against each other, rather than help bring each other up.
2. This question still somewhat stumps me even after class discussion. I think the author titles the book issing The Witch because the last story is supposed to be the closer. The last moral. The act of kissing the witch at the end showed that just because people fear someone and it would be looked down upon in society to do such a thing, you can do it. You will be fine. It may even turn out positive for you and others involved. To me, “kissing the witch” is a sort of expression for do what you want and feel regardless of what society will say.
