Analysis of the Grimms Rabbits bride.

[Angela]

it's obvious that the rabbits bride was a retold version of the original Grimms Fairy tale. That's why it doesn't really make much sense. I can't really get into analysis honestly and I'm so lost. I'm taking a UM course called fantasy and science fiction and we're told to read all of the Grimms fairy tale and submit an essay and I'm so confused as to what to bring up in said essay, maybe I just took too much time off of school. Shoot.

I have similar problem. I can't figure out what's the point of this story. What's the moral? Strange, strange story. Only thing that comes up to my mind is the sexuality of rabbit's tail. It seems that after she sat on it, she had to become his bride. But where is the main point of it?

I think this one has to do with how blackmailing doesn't exactly always get you what you want, and you end up miserable because of it. The rabbit is taught a lesson. It appeared that the only way to get this rabbit to stop taking the cabbage was to get on his tail and take a ride. What the maiden soon realized was that she'd have to marry him or he wouldn't stop. This made her very sad - Wouldn't you be? "marry me or I'll never stop calling you" sort of thing. Getting married for all the wrong reasons. Anyway, she ends up tricking him and running back home. His frustration over her sadness ended up making him sad when he thought he killed her. So his whole scheme blew up in his face. He's a very mean spirited bunny but can't help feeling sorry for him. All he wants is love, but leave the maidens to us!

I too, am taking the UM course, and have just read "The Rabbit's Bride. "The Rabbit represents a man who is only concerned with his needs. Consider a man who relentlessly pursues a woman; she finally gives in to his pursuit (simply because she is worn down) and very soon realizes she has made a huge mistake. This "man" is only sorry about the way he treated her only after she has made herself a memory. Modern day story.....
