The theme that I have chosen and going to talk about is ‘Selfish and greedy desires can often lead a person to overlook the positive in others’. I have chosen this theme in Rumpelstiltskin’s story because Rumpelstiltskin is willing to do something unless he gets something out of it, just like valuable accessories and perhaps a baby.

For example, it is like having a job, people work to get paid and some people chose to get extra shifts just to earn more money. This theme is not just an example of having a job, it is also an example of using people just for money and/or to get something out of it because some people do not just do stuff for
