Really? Do you feel the same way about Bluebeard? Cinderella? This isn't a rare motif in children's stories.
- tombert 2y agoI'm not sure I know what Bluebeard is, so I can't comment on that. The original somewhat gory Cinderella stories? I might wait until they're a bit older. I don't have kids, so this is all hypothetical, of course.
- tmtvl 2y agoBluebeard is a fairy tale about a lass who marries a guy called Bluebeard and he gives her the keys to his house and tells her not to go into one specific room and that room contains the bodies of his former wives. I might be misremembering it somewhat, but I believe that's the gist.
