Three tragedies

The poor king and innocent sea monster in the first story are not for the time being. The queen gave birth to a child on the same day that she left her husband's body unrepentantly for the child. Also watching the acrobatics without nutrition, the queen smiled, completely different from the previous indifference. In the end, when the queen was killed in order to recover her son who ran away, for a moment, I felt inexplicably sad. Unlike the "motherkilling" in myth, the mother here is a kind of self-sacrifice, and her love for her husband is not transplanted to other people but her own son. Chasing in the labyrinth is actually a mapping of what you ask for. True love really consists in letting go. In fact, what does the king love the queen? Still begging and having to let go.

Likewise, the second story begins with the king's request for a woman, but he can't get it. The same thing that implements the whole story is that the elder sister can't beg for the king, and the younger sister can't beg for the elder sister. In the end, the younger sister flayed in order to accompany the elder sister, and the elder sister deceived the other party in order to accompany the king, believing that the ending after the disappearance of the mana must be terrible. Some people say that the king is pitiful, but the source of everything is just a lecherous king who uses his power to force a woman to submit. Rights are the origin of this story, and perhaps even more so.

Likewise, the source of the third story is power. The king used his power to coerce his daughter into marrying a savage monster for reasons unknown. Maybe it's because he doesn't want his daughter to marry, or maybe he wants to satisfy his own unique bad taste. Are savages poor? There was some, because from his standpoint he didn't do anything to hurt the princess. But is he right? Yes, he chose something that didn't belong to him at the very beginning. I won the princess by fluke, but I never thought whether I was suitable for this fluke. At the same time, after getting the princess, knowing that she does not love herself, she has not made any efforts to make the other party really like her. Blindly paranoid possessing the final result must be both. The princess finally became the queen, which seems to be a happy ending, but what kind of torture is behind this handsome and resolute! At the beginning of the story, such a simple and lovely little princess finally learned to deceive cruelty by retreating. The smile of the princess at the moment of killing the savage is probably the "blackening" in the legend, a kind of relief and comfort, a kind of relaxation and relief that overcomes restraint and inner cowardice.

It is not difficult to find that the protagonists of the three stories are all women, the queen/queen, the commoner/queen, and the princess/empress, each of whom has changed in his own position and paid a high price for his change. Each is a tragedy.
