FAIRY TALE AESTHETICS: HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON VERSION

THE STEADFAST TIN SOLDIER:
paper dolls.  rain against a windowpane.  fish for supper.  silent communications through eye contact. a tiny tin heart. cobbled streets.  deep rivers.  open fireplaces.  well-loved toys.

THUMBELINA:
water lilies and lily pads. red and yellow tulips. sun reflecting against water. iridescent beetles. singing beautiful songs.  swallows. butterfly wings.  dresses made from flowers.  dark tunnels.  stories about summer.

LITTLE MATCH GIRL:
bitterly cold winds.  sound of a match striking. falling stars.  the most beautiful dream. tiny flickering flames.  fat snowflakes.  the feeling on New Year’s Eve. ignored by all but one.

THE SNOW QUEEN:
shattered mirrors.  early morning sled rides. rose bushes. crows.  dancing shadows.  robbers and thieves.  sleeping with a knife.  reindeer.   ice skates. tears of joy. northern lights.

THE LITTLE MERMAID:
strings of pearls.  warm, soft sand.  church bells. lost voice.  dripping wet hair.  fireworks.  thunder storms.
