Document Summary
Three: forbidden chamber, agent of prohibition, someone who violates. Female being curious (bad) and disobedient (worst) The consequences of being curious and disobediences. Seen this also in frau truda: little girl told not to be curious or disobedient. Bluebeards wife: finds out what is behind the door, also a story of empowerment. Wife is able to save herself through wit: also a grim tale of marriage haunted by murder. Even if you"re able to escape, even if you get a happy marriage in the end, the institution of marriage has a threat of murder. Could relate to sex: bride to be is transgressive by being curious. Not a sexual curiosity but an intellectual curiosity. Contrast the bluebeard story with that of beauty and the: fear of marriage and that you will end up with a beast. Does end up being a beast, but he"s actually a nice guy.
