Reading Notes: The Brothers Grimm, Part B

I started with the story of the Six Swans. I somewhat like that even though she was beautiful, the king wasn't happy. I'd like to believe he was more than just a shallow man who wanted a trophy wife. I also liked that he protected his children, showing me that he's actually a decent human being who was just put in a tough spot. The other king? Yeah, didn't like him as much. Who marries a girl who is clearly struggling and NOT SPEAKING.. Ah well, at least the girl is faithful to her family. I cannot imagine 6 years of not speaking or laughing. What a terrible fate, but I guess family is worth it. I'm glad she stuck it out until the end.
