Mister No Sayı - 153 : Fare Kapanı - Guido Nolitta ücretsiz kitap indir

Marw Katsika marwkatsika — This was a great book. It approached fairy tales from a rather psychological, symbolic approach, reading into the themes and the deeper meanings. The author's thesis was, essentially that the wicked characters in these stories embody the symbolic wickedness within ourselves that we struggle to destroy, and/or common enemies in our own lives (e.g., the good witch/bad witch being the nurturing vs. selfish aspects of our mothers, so that we learn to embrace our mother while holding her blameless for the times that she's not able to be there for us because it's "not really her.") Apropros to the concept of the wickedness in the stories being an embodiment of the audience's own internal "guilt," most chapters took a title from one of the seven deadly sins (Envy, Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, etc.). Additionally, as with any book that explores things from a psychological perspective, there's a discussion of the sexual aspects - the wicked stepsisters cut off parts of their feet in an attempt to fit the discarded shoe in the original Cinderella; the prince sees the blood and is frightened and repulsed. According to the author, it touches on every man's fear of castration (I might argue that it's actually symbolic menstrual blood, thus further rendering the sisters "unclean" from the prince's phallocentric perspective, but whatever . . .). The Little Mermaid doesn't visit the witch to get her legs (and thus access to her sexual organs) until she's "of age" though she's longed to be a part of the world above for much longer than that. There was also a lot of really great information regarding the sociological aspects - how almost all cultural groups have a version of the Cinderella story, and how that story within European cultures evolved and grew and changed depending on the audience and perhaps the message that the archivist (Grimm, Perrault, and one other who's name currently escapes me) was trying to send. And, just as how every story in Shakespeare has an analog in the Bhagavad Gita, in looking at it thematically, it was fun independently to identify how some of the same themes crop up even in modern epics - they really are universal. Selfishly, the one way the book disappointed me was in its neglect of the story of Beauty and the Beast . It's my all-time favorite fairy tale (from the lushly illustrated picture book I had as a child, to the Linda Hamilton TV show to Robin McKinley's three retellings (Beauty, Rose Daughter, and Sunshine), to the Disney musical, to C.S. Lewis' 'Til we Have Faces, to even Buffy (Don't tell me Buffy & Spike aren't Beauty & the Beast)) and it would've been fascinating to see that theme explored -- both in identifying the evil and in a psycho-sexual aspect.
