Question 1: In "The Snow Child". What is the purpose of the tale's explicit pornography? Does the story have a moral?
Question 2: Who is the narrator of "Puss-in-Boots" and how does the tale represent love?
Question 3: In the end of "The Erl-King," Carter begins writing in the future tense. The girl tells us she will take the Erl-King's hair "and strangle him with them," and that she will "carve off" his mane of hair with his hunting knife and use it to "string the old fiddle." Then, as the fiddle plays, the news strings (of hair) will cry out, "Mother, mother, you have murdered me". What do you think happens in the end of the story, based on that description? Why is Carter choosing to write in the future tense? Finally, what is the significance of "mother", which is included as the last few words of the tale?
Question 4: In "The Lady of the House of Love," consult. The story alludes to "Sleeping Beauty" by emphasizing that "one kiss...only one, woke up the Sleeping Beauty in the Wood". What kind of kiss does the young soldier give her and what kind of awakening does she receive? When comparing it to the original, why is this kiss/awakening important?
