how much is your fairytale worth?
so the story that ends "and they lived happily ever after" is merely the prelude to a haunting dilemma:she 'longed with all her heart for a child as white as snow, as red as blood, as black as ebony', and died when that child was born, as if the price of the daughter were the life of the mother.
the daughter whose beauty far surpassed her stepmother - according to her magic mirror, has incurred the wrath and jealousy of the evil queen who plotted to kill her with a poisoned apple. while fairy tales with sad beginnings like grimms' snow white has a fair share of stepmothers, witches who blind men, taint love and ugly stepsisters, the men would always arrive in shinning armor otherwise the male characters are confined to the roles of a doting father or a wise king.
gender roles aside, every wicked woman in every fairy tale deserve to die, and they always do, eventually.
