Original Artist - B-trndl at Deviant Art

I chose Bluebeard as I was interested as to the monster archetypes in fairy tales.  Most of them seemed to be lumbering, or plain ugly - but Bluebeard seemed to be generally frightening. I have 2,500 words to find between now and next Monday re the first half of the diss.  It will be comprised of Perrault/Brothers Grimm (albeit briefly)/Le Fanu and Charlotte Bronte.  This could be a HUGE project, but I have to pare it down to the bare minimum.  It will have Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber in it at some point too.

Yesterday and today, I have spent making notes on the Perrault/Le Fanu one and tomorrow, I will have to start writing.  In between, I will be doing the IAS PP too.

The Bloody Chamber - Warning NSFW )

Schalken the Painter is shaping up to be another tale in the Bluebeard genre. Vanderhausen looms as a prospective husband and his demeanor suggests that of a cut-throat vagabond, masquerading as a wealthy Lord of some standing.  There is so much I would love to say about this book, but I think it will have to go into my mini dissertation, or I would've wasted all of my research via a diary entry.

Anyway, I am lucky that Gutenberg has come up trumps and the online book can be read here.

Mwahaha :-E
