Bet Me and Fairy Tales


What fairy tales do you notice in Jennifer Crusie's Bet Me? How does Crusie manipulate the symbolism of the original fairy tales? How do these fairy tales work over the course of the story?

Eventually, you'll need to choose one fairy tale and analyze the imagery and symbolism as it's used throughout the story, so begin to do this now in the comments.

Some places to look:
Crusie's own page about Bet Me.
