The two are virtually identical, with the exception that Cullen added that ‘Fairy Fay’ was mutilated. The dates of the author’s written works are similarly problematic, with Robertson’s published in 1950 and Cullen’s in 1965. The fairly short time period between the two author’s works would suggest that Cullen’s source was Robertson’s work, however this is a trivial detail to the greater issues. If ‘Fairy Fay’ did indeed exist, why are the accounts of her tragic end appearing sixty two years later? It would be reasonable to assume that such an event would have at least one mention by the press, considering their fixation over the later murders.
One of the elements of the fairy tale that the Princess Bride lacks is beginning or ending with “Once Upon a Time” or “And They Lived Happily Ever After”. These are classic fairy tale beginning and endings, and Goldman did not include them. The book starts with a flashback from the authors life, which is also not classic fairy tale material. Fairy Tales do not include any input from the author, except for maybe the introduction. The Princess Bride did have an introduction,
Kelly Link’s “The Cinderella Games” is different from other fairy tales referenced in the story because “The Cinderella Game” has an untold story inside. Link presented the story as a fairytale but as the story went on she gave the story a dark and twisted message. Even though, “The Cinderella Games” has multiple references to classical fairytales, according to Bettelheim it is not considered a fairytale due to the fact that it is missing a fairytale ending and a sense of fantasy. In normal fairytales, there is just a princess and prince and they all live happily ever after together but that is not the case in this story.
The Tapestry is actually an embroidered strip of linen 231 feet long, which provides a visual of history, events, conquests and battles that occurred in England. There is celebration, names of kings, a voyage on a vessel heading out to sea and villagers. There is conversation at the celebratory table as a villager points out the men preparing to travel out to sea and the other is scene of the coronation. The visualizations indicates the story is important. What is missing from the Tapestry is King Harold honoring the relinquishment of the throne to King William.
Following Charles II’s coronation, there was an artistic renaissance in England with a preference for “scenery to poetic illusion, heroic couplets to blank verse… They demanded music, dancing and masques in the latest French styles.” To this end, The Fairy Queen was created, a semi-opera with “singing, dancing and machines interwoven, after the manner of an opera.” To clarify, a ‘semi-opera’ is a term which was used to apply to Restoration pieces which combined spoken plays with masque-esque episodes which employed the use of singing and dancing characters. When music occured in these masques, it was typically following either a love scene or that of the supernatural.

Perrault’s fairy tale follows the generic conventions of a traditional fairy tale which is what Atwood had been condemning. The tale begins with the sentence, “there were formerly a king and a queen, who were sorry they had no children”, which is the normally the beginning of most fairy tales (Perrault 398). The most notable characteristic of a fairy tale begins with the phrase “once upon a time” or a variation of it such as Perrault’s “there were” (398). Unlike Atwood, Perrault mentions that the princess was “the most beautiful person in the world” (399), focusing on more of a materialistic aspect of the princess instead of Atwood’s more realistic view of her. Perrault’s fairy tale includes other generic conventions like a handsome prince saving the day and marrying the princess, a happy ending, and an evil queen.

Discuss the imaginative response to the figure of Elizabeth I in The Faerie Queene Book III. What was possibly the most challenging disruption to the patriarchal society in sixteen century England was the presence of a dominant and influential queen on the throne, Elizabeth I who remained there for 45 years. Stephen Greenblatt tells us that Spenser glorified power, especially imperialistic power, and the poet 's life and career in Ireland and his myriad of attempts to achieve status and fame proposes to us that he had a absolute concern in flattering both the queen and her court, and many reasons to “present the party line in his epic romance”.(Villeponteaux) In this essay I would like to discuss the way female power is portrayed by the
The Faerie Queene is the longest poem that consists of six individual mini epics. Edmund Spenser had many things that have happened to him in his life. There was his family and education. He was born twelve years before Skapekspeare and Marlowe. In his education, he went to the Merchant Taylors School then went to Cambridge for his bachelors degree.
In Shakespeare’s A Midsummers Night’s Dream, magic and mystery are key components in the thriving plot through the use of having two worlds, fairy and mortals. In this play the fairies are depicted as whimsical free-spirited lovers of life who seek to help the mortals find true love. However, in the 1999 Hollywood film version of the play the fairies are portrayed as petty irritable party animals who are more mortal like than they should be. This interpretation of the play has lost the original magical and mystery aspect of the original story with the added rendition of scenes and lines in the movie.
