Patriarchal Society in the Third Story

Of the three stories, I also find the second one: the two old women the most unforgettable to me. In addition to many beautiful Europeans, in my opinion, the characters of these two old women are quite pitiful. Just stepping into the coffin, my sister's ending is even more tragic, I feel pain across the screen.

The third story, first of all, I think the big louse is quite cute... I thought that the big louse would be similar to the character of the frog prince, but it turns out that the big louse is the real meaning of this character. The king gave the princess and the big louse the same nickname. I think it also shows that the king's attitude towards the princess is like that of pets. People always impose their own ideas on pets, and they disdain to understand the true ideas of pets. Even though the princess has been very frank with the king about her longing for a future marriage, the king still uses an entertainment-like way to settle the princess's marriage.

The poor princess has never escaped the patriarchal society, but she has been fighting. The first time was on the top floor of the castle. She would rather give up her life than marry, but the king who stands in the highest position of power has no one to go against him. In the name of the will, the daughter must be married. The second time was that she had been taken to the cave by the savages. She rescued her like a village woman and did not give up a glimmer of hope, but after all, she was no match for the unrivaled male strength of the savages. But no matter how strong the force is, it can't escape the soft softness of women's fingers. The princess' show of weakness allowed her to reach the softest parts of the wildling and kill her in one hit. If I want to translate this fable into reality, I think that in a tough patriarchal society, the best way to solve the problem may not be to fight hard, but to learn to use women's own soft characteristics to overcome rigidity with softness.
