I enjoyed the tales, but found it annoying that...


Five of the tales have the damsel in some way rescued by the garçon. Is it too much to ask that modern fairy tales at least consider either a damsel that is not in distress or one that does the saving?

reply

In the first tale the man required saving. In the second tale there wasn't a damsel in distress. In the fourth tale the boy saved the village. In the fifth tale the girl was feigning illness to make the boy lie, with tragic results. The male characters frequently turn out to be heroes through happenstance and accident rather than bravery or brains.

In the first tale the man required saving.
Only after he had first saved her.
