Part 3/10:
Shifting focus, the session turns to fairy tales, specifically those by the Brothers Grimm, as tools to understand female tendencies—particularly vengefulness, power hunger, and deceit. The chosen story, "The Goose Girl," serves as a vivid allegory for female manipulation, virtue, and societal roles.
The Tale of the Goose Girl: A Lesson in Virtue and Deceit
In this story, an old queen with a daughter prepares her for marriage, entrusting her with a precious handkerchief stained with blood—symbolic of sacrifice, power, and a secret kept by female kinship. The princess, under the influence of a treacherous chambermaid, inadvertently reveals her secret by the blood drops, exposing inherent female tendencies toward betrayal and manipulation.
