Notes

10/8
Charles Dickons
"First Love"

Alice in Wonderland
Louis Carrol Oats: response to childrens literature as a teaching tool. He twists the morals

Arny Thomsan
Catalogue of stories: Search for lost husband, or Beast groom
King Kong: Universal Truths, such is the story of beauty and the beast

Foil: reflectors, sisters vs protagonist

Reading is: being on both sides of the pages

Animal Groom: anxieties about marriage, arranged marriage to older men, brace women for marriage, wealth over the considerations. Complexities of romance/love and marriage/euphemism. Ritual; institution of marriage (bondage/rape)

Deboumont; pious instruction, manners designed for girls and young women, so girls will benefit from these stories.
