Her longing for love and for self-happiness was not found in materials, through actions of pleasure, or through mindless acts of service.

She is transformed and feels at peace knowing that the burdens of life and worries are all within the river of humanity and will be washed away (Endo 210,211).

The use of specific metaphors such as the mist covering the castle, the briary hedge surrounding it and the bad fairy with a uniform confirm the connection of her story with concentration camps.

Overall, there is a number of reasons why the WW1 lasted for so long and was not ‘over by Christmas’ as it was suggested by German military leaders. The most important factor is the advances in the military technology and introduction of new and improved armaments such as poison gas and machine guns. This lead to an increased popularity of the trench warfare, which decelerated the course of the war. Although, that is the most significant factor, there are other reasons, which explain the duration of the war, such as a diplomatic stalemate. The inability of military leaders of both Central and Allied powers to reach a consensus on territorial and political issues have led to a prolongation of the war.

Atwood began the story as the female lead being beautiful, but changed her to being average looking, and changes the stereotypical evil stepmother to an evil stepfather. On the contrary, Perrault follows the basic generic conventions of fairy tales by having the prince marry the beautiful princess and writes the main antagonists as two older women. Perrault uses his story to frame the prince as the hero who saves the sleeping princess and her kingdom, and later saves his family from his evil cannibalistic mother. Perrault’s story has more of a magical aspect than Atwood’s since he includes fairies and curses in his story. Perrault’s story offers an escape from the trials and
After carefully analyzing the tale "Catskin" I found that the story is more complex than I could have predicted at first. Although the intended moral looks straightforward and supported by the narration, I found examples of how Catskin behaves differently from the blameless heroine that one would expect from a fairy tale 's princess: she is the perpetrator of a fraud, she behaves like a predator only waiting for the right occasion to strike and, finally, she craves to have her social prominence recognized. The moral of the story, which initially seemed to be about intrinsic virtues eventually granting a happily ever-after, fails when the overall conduct of Catskin is considered. However, the most controversial part of "Catskin" seems to be that the story actually presents a moral. The importance of the three beautiful gowns in the recognition of the protagonist 's beauty and the eventual father-daughter reunion after such a long time since Catskin 's son was born, prove how important facades are in the tail.
