Bluebeard Mini Dissertation Part One - The Prologue
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.
