Thanks a bunch!André Boaventuranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934170279470612782.post-3139235362349368482011-05-17T11:35:15.692-05:002011-05-17T11:35:15.692-05:00In "The interpretations of fairy tales" ...In "The interpretations of fairy tales" by Marie-Louise von Franz, there is a story about two sisters, one ugly and the other beautiful, and she calls the smarter, yet ugly sister, the Shadow. It makes sense that the snake remains so at the end of the story and the baby monster is killed, in this way, the psychological meaning of the tale is complete: the Shadow will always remain unknown to the psyche, and could only be contacted in her primitive form. On the other hand, the baby is the cause of death of other women, so when he/she is born, instead of the mother dying, the baby dies. Is not a product of love or union, but of violence. In this way, the monstruos line of the father, his legacy to the world, is broken and therefore, the mother, and other women, are saved. Does it make sense to you?Oonaghhttp://diosasyhadas.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934170279470612782.post-17436464415884144062011-05-16T21:04:38.938-05:002011-05-16T21:04:38.938-05:00I find it interesting that Biancabella and the Sna...I find it interesting that Biancabella and the Snake by Straparola begins the same way.convergingnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08425497963518209698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934170279470612782.post-21908895239989757142011-05-16T19:08:51.775-05:002011-05-16T19:08:51.775-05:00This is amazing!
