The three tales surrounding the same storyline as Bluebeard are very similar, yet different in their own way. Some differences include the number of protagonists and antagonists in each story. In "The Fitcher's Bird," there are three woman protagonists who are captured by one male antagonist. In "The Robber Bridegroom" there's one main protagonist, one semi protagonist if you count the old woman, plus multiple cannibals as the antagonists. Finally, in "Bluebeard" there's simply one protagonist and one antagonist. Another difference that makes each story unique is the objects. In the tale of "Bluebeard," the distinctive object is obviously the antagonist's blue beard. But another one that it has is the key, which this and "The Fitcher's Bird" story share. Two more unique objects that "The Fitcher's Bird" has are its magical egg & basket. Lastly, the story of "The Robber Bridegroom" has t

The Bluebeard original tale and the movie are very different from each other. At first, it was a bit hard to follow how the movie related to the tale because the movie goes into a lot of depth into the life of the young girl and her family before she meets Bluebeard.

In the Grimm's tale when the princess is about to die, she calls for her brothers help out the window 3 times. In the movie, she calls for her sister but also stalls by requesting different ways to die. In the end, when Bluebeard dies, she seems to mourn his death while stil

The Tale Of Little Red Riding Hood I did some digging on Youtube and found a Little Red Riding Hood cartoon. Now, we all know that this is one of the most popular fairytales ever. So naturally, there are tons of films and shorts based on the story. The one I watched on Youtube was very interesting. It was from an animal collection of fairytales created by Robert Barron titled “My Favorite Fairy Tales”, published in 1986 by Saban entertainment. But continuing on the cartoon itself, it was extremely funny, charming, ridiculous, and I could definitely see how this could have an appeal to really any audience but mostly kids. I loved it & couldn’t take my eyes off of it.  Hidden under all this entertainment though lies a social message. Maybe even a couple. In one of the scenes, the wolf notices Little Red and makes his plan to eat her. But the animals and hunters in the forest knew he was up to no good and attacked him. This could be a message to try to bring down predators in
