It is interesting that three drops of blood fall into the snow, I feel like the Queen probably had to prick herself pretty hard to draw that much blood and that must have hurt. It’s sad that the Queen died after giving birth and never really got to see her daughter. I feel like only a year is not that long for the King to get over his deceased wife, find a new wife, and marry her. I wonder if it might be a coincidence that there are seven dwarfs, which is just as old as Snow-white especially because seven can reference the completeness of man sometimes in literature. I think that its odd that the huntsman had pity on Snow-white because she was so beautiful instead of being a child or innocent. It’s really creepy and cannibalistic that the Queen wanted to eat Snow-white’s heart. Thankfully she did not, but the Queen seems to be a little crazy and obsessive about Snow-white. When Snow-white is testing out the beds to sleep in and one is too long, I don’t see why that was a problem and why she didn’t just sleep there because a bigger bed is nice with all that extra space. I feel like Snow-white could have accompanied the dwarfs with them to work instead of doing all of the domestic household chores, but I guess Snow-white might have preferred staying inside because being a princess she probably didn’t have to do that much work and probably just hung out in her castle most of the time. Also if Snow-white would have stayed with the dwarfs all day then they could have protected her from the Queen. I also like how the Looking-glass responds to the Queen in rhymed lines. Snow-white literally only had one rule, which was to not let anyone inside, and she broke it rather quickly. I can’t believe that Snow-white was fooled again by the wicked Queen, especially because the Queen lead with the same line, but I guess that since Snow-white is only seven she deserves a little break. This also reminds me of the saying fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I think that the Queen is being very dramatic especially because she is willing to die in order to be the prettiest, but if no one sees Snow-white other than the dwarfs I don’t understand why the Queen won’t just stop there because it will seem like she is the prettiest woman in the land. I feel like the dwarfs are being a little dramatic when they cried for three days after Snow-white died because it seems like not much time has passed by since they met her and they probably don’t really even know Snow-white that well. I think that it is really weird that a random king’s son just wants the coffin with Snow-white in it especially because he has never met her before now. I like how in this version true loves kiss doesn’t magically wake up Snow-white and that it is just a coincidence that the apple piece is dislodged from her throat. However, its really weird that this prince is in love with Snow-white after only just looking at her through her glass coffin. Also, I don’t know why the prince isn’t more weirded out that this dead girl suddenly comes back to life. I feel like the story ended rather quickly with the evil step Queen dying, but I guess it was justice because the Queen did attempt to kill Snow-white on three occasions and sent a huntsman to kill her tallying up to four murder attempts. I think that it is a little strange that Snow-white has a complete absentee father and he is not really mentioned in the story other than to marry the evil step Queen. I also think that the father should have noticed, or at least have been more concerned that his seven-year-old daughter was missing and should have done something like sending out a search party.
