"Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte and "North and South" by Elizabeth Gaskell (esp. for those P&P lovers out there)

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

It seems to be a response to the Enlightenment, an age of reason, while still supporting the Romanticism aspects of the story.

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

My blog was about The Sandman: The role of alchemy, science, and technology play a huge role in the events of the story...

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

Recognized some Peter Pan influences in the book for example the shadows doing their own thing!

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

The idea of the ocean of stories makes so much sense. water flows everywhere and touches everything, just like stories.

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

I'm on the same boat with @worldlitshahlap. Hopefully some context will help my understanding of the tale.

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

I love the macabre and gothicness of these fairytales. The idea of the key being stained turns the macabre into magical

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

@worldlitshahlap I'm wondering if this is where the trope comes from! I'm really loving Perrault's blame as well! #yikes

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

I'm so glad she escaped! I loved the moment of Victor staying behind with her on the day to the beach

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

Super depressing story. Aunt Baba seems like the "fairy godmother" of the tale.

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

Why yes of course open the door. The reason it is forbidden is because there are rainbows and unicorns behind it. #openallthethings

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

not sure how I feel about this text. Everyone just seems to die right off the bat! Took me awhile to follow who was related to who.

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

Very unsatisfying ending for me for some reason. I guess I wanted to follow Hajila more than Isma

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

I connect to the story when Hajila is on her unveiled adventures but the characters around Hajila just seem unsettling and leave a bad taste

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

@worldlitshahlap @worldlitloegeri Same here!

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

I thought the idea of the frozen kingdom & snake fascinating. The idea of paganism & Islam being separate but together in the same world.

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

The Beastly Tales reminded me of Aesop's Fables. Animal stories with morals at the end!

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

Glad I didn't read sandman at night! Something about stealing eyes makes it even more creepy & the moment Olympia had his eyes..?

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

I had a feeling that the teeth would mean something once they were mentioned a second time-but i did not expect what actually happened!#yuck

[Kirsten Hagemann @worldlithageman]

I really liked Eckbert the Fair and the morals of the story. Reminds me of greek tragedies.
