Reading Notes: American Indian Fairy Tales, Part B

The Fairy Bride

  • This description of her reminds me of most fairy tales, where the main character is described as peculiar or strange, and their parents just want them to be like other girls and fit in
  • Gnomes and fairies? Could be something there in the gnomes having a specific job and the fairies just create mischief
  • This sounds a little like Pocahontas. She was supposed to marry a hunter who she thought very little of for his savage ways
  • I like that she doesn't want to marry this man because she basically thinks he is boring. All he talks about is hunting and she seems to not find that very interesting
  • She is too young to know what is good for her, but not too young to get married?
  • I would like to hear what happened to her once she walked into the grove. They only tell us what the members of her tribe and her almost-husband saw
