what to wear when…fairy tale blood.

examples: the queen’s protective blood from die gänsemagd (the goose girl), the soldier’s weaponized blood from 擊敗鬼 (the ghost who was foiled), the brother’s incriminating blood from the bloody house (a bluebeard variant)

wonder tales depict blood flows in two basic guises. first, there is the theme of human incorporation through cannibalism, which mostly depicts the blood of women circulating down the generations…second, blood spills out in life crises, in sex-specific ways. women present lifeblood on menarche, defloration, and giving birth; men relate to spilled blood in wars and hunts…enchanted heroes and heroines are under the empire of their own blood…because blood is at the core of initiation in wonder tales, and myriad themes build on it, blood enchantment is variously expressed. in other words, there is blood symbolism in wonder tales…one foremost blood image is flowers. the connection is evident in the constant semantic convergence between flow and flower, fluer and fleur, fluir and flor, and blut and blüte. along this semantic drift, any wonder tale maiden associated with flowers is marked to see her blood flow. beauty’s request of a rose seals her fate to marry the beast; little red riding hood is often laden with flowers as she enters the forest house, there to join a werewolf or wolf in bed; and another flowery maiden, briar rose, pricks a finger at age fifteen, then falls asleep until the elected husband passes through her blooming flowers to literally deflower her…just as briar rose’s pricked finger foreshadows defloration, so does the pricked finger of snow white’s mother presage conception…muteness and blindness are also forms of enchantment, and heroines so afflicted intimate blood one way or the other.
