Reading Notes: The True Bride, Part B


  • Diamonds and Toads meets the story of Romulus and Remus. 
  • Did the prince really love her? Surely he wouldn't have had her killed if he loved her?
  • The Stepmother getting rid of the sons she gave birth to is especially cruel. 
    • Gives her a cat, then a snake instead of her children
  • Children are raised by dog
    • How old were they? Seem old enough... would they have known about their true origins?
  • How could that woman go back to her husband after he has her killed? 
    • How did she forgive him?
  • Once she was turned into a goose, why couldn't she be with her kids?
