Fitchers Bird

I read this story as a story of female disobedience. The sorcerer directly tells the first sister that "you can go anywhere you and look around at everything, but don't into that room that this little key opens. I forbid it under the penalty of death." She "planned to walk rightby it, but curiosity got the better of her." This shows that she knew she should not enter the room, and yet her curiosity caused her to disobey her husband. This is repeated for the second daughter a well. IT also happens with the third. She also is deceptive and has her husband carry her sisters saying they were baskets of gold. She " took a skull with grinning teeth, crowned it with jewels and garland of flowers, carried it upstairs and set it in an attic window, facing out" It is important to note that she was supposed to be plannign with wedding arranagments, not plotting her escape. She dresses like a bird, gets the sorcerer and all his friends in the house, and light in on fire. Now while I am not saying the bride is wrong for escaping, obiosuly she is not. I am just pointing out that escaping and making an elaborate decoy while supposidly getting ready for the wedding, is disobedient.
