Sure, but then you remember that she was seven years old. Somehow an almost-toddler vampire doesn’t strike me as very scary.
But Snow White grew up and became more and more beautiful, and when she was seven years old she was as beautiful as the bright day, and more beautiful than the Queen herself. When the Queen once asked her mirror:
“Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?”
it answered:
“My Lady Queen, you are the fairest here,
But Snow White is a thousand times more fair than you.”
The story is really about how if you’re a woman you shouldn’t be wanting for more than what’s given you, and that you must be meek and obedient.
Still, her reward was to get abducted and forced to marry a necrophiliac prince so I don’t know… Maybe the story actually says to not be meek and obedient. It could be a cautionary tale I suppose.
