I have a great weakness for fairy tales about girls who can’t speak.
I love this. “As is so often the case, she could talk about the problem, or she could fix it.”
There is also Cordelia in the first act of King Lear, who I think about a lot, though it isn’t exactly a fairy tale.
(The first scene I mean, though that is also the first act)
Does Echo & Narcissus count? Seems like it ought to be a more common motif but I can't really think of any others...
DEFINITELY counts
Love the retelling of stories, and additional commentary
