The story of “Bluebeard” is a very different type of
fairytale. This is due to many violent
scenes and descriptive imagery making it not suitable for children. There are three different versions of this
story, “Bluebeard”, “Fitcher’s Bird” and “The Robber Bridegroom”. These all contain the basic story but have a
few differences.
“The Robber Bridegroom” is the very different from the other
two versions of the story. This is my
favorite version of the story because it is so different from the others while
keeping the same basic story elements.
It is different because the girl never actually marries the man and is
able to tell her entire family of the man’s murderous ways. The girl also hides and witnesses the husband
murder a girl.
“Bluebeard” and “Fitchers Bird” are very similar to each
other. This is because it has to do with
a girl and man in an arranged marriage.
The girl enters a forbidden room where she finds many dead bodies. These bodies are due to the husband being a
murderer. In both versions the girls are
able to save their lives with there wit.
