This story's success can be explained by considering it a myth and analysing how this myth engages with contemporary discourses, such as the definition of the ideal wife, the querelle des femmes, the socio-political consequences of social exogamy, and tyranny UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110628715 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110628715 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/cover/covers/9783110628715.jpg ER -
