Document Summary
Written to give the effect that it represents life and the social world as it seems to the common reader . Characters/ relationships of fairy tale mapped onto modern, urban world and experience. Narrator aware of the expectations of fairy tales. Maybe i have read to many fairy tales - suggests narrator is reading her experience in term of traditional formulas of the pretext of the novel. Animalistic man more than an actual wolf. Page 44 bottom of page: barb calm down now just calm downnight. Wolf is trying to trick main character at the end. Consumption of the girl as a metaphor for rape. Swallowing a person whole, stones being sewn into the wolf"s belly. Knowling how to shoot a firearm- self defense. Naturalizing of violence against the girl is how the story goes. When removed from the fantasy setting then it is seen as disturbing; why is it not disturbing to us in the fantasy as well.
