Horror Part 2

The Grimms' The Robber Bridegroom the young girl (heroine) devolves from a clever girl who "filled both her pockets with peas and lentils to mark the way." (p.151) She is then represented as disobedient when she ignores the warnings of a caged bird who tells her to "turn back" (p. 152) over and over again. She shows up again as a clever girl when she divulges her bridegrooms secret and how she saves the ring finger as a proof.
