Select ONE of the following options and respond with a written response, which needs to specifically include clear paragraphing.
You must use in-text citation for any sources that you specifically cite (parenthetical citation including author/page number from within the Tatar text, but citing each individual author, NOT necessarily Tatar–i.e. Perrault, Carter, Zipes, etc.). If a tale’s author is anonymous, your parenthetical citation will include an abbreviated reference to the tale’s title. For example, when referring to the anonymous “The Story of Grandmother,” your parenthetical citation would read: (“The Story” #)
My chosen option: “The Tiger’s Bride.” Analyze Angela Carter’s “The Tiger’s Bride.” Use any of the potential critical approaches (Archetypal, Symbolic, Psychological, Sociological, Feminist/”Maleist,” etc.) and/or analyze it according to any prominent theme(s)–see #4 below for ideas.
This is what the ideas in options are : Here themes are defined as central ideas that can be traced through a variety of tales.) You will be selecting/citing said tales from any of the sagas. Thematic choices might include: animals; baptism; beauty/ugliness; death/rebirth; fairies; food; homes; magic; wilderness; orphans, wanderers, etc.; parenting (including fathers, mothers, and/or step-parents); religion/religious symbolism; other symbolism (including numbers, colors, etc.); royalty; sex; violence; and the “dark themes” (cannibalism, necrophilia, bestiality, etc.). Indeed, several of these themes might fit together in one essay response!
