Analysis of The Frog
Prince
OR
Carry On Croaking
| INTRODUCTION:
Before we begin I ask you to bear in mind that the
Grimm brothers were master storytellers [1] but one thing that I've
noticed about their stories is that whenever a character is engaged in
something seemingly harmless it's only a matter of time before tragedy descends
and the entire situation spirals wildly out of control.
For example. Snow White was killed by a poison apple, Sleeping Beauty was enchanted for a 100 years through the clever use of a spinning wheel and Red Riding Hood was eaten by a wolf [2], Sometimes it's as if they were trying to do better and be just that little more gruesome with each story.

Keeping this in mind it occurs to me that I've not
always being fair on the assorted Prince Charmings who ride through these
stories and rescue princess's from perils most dire [3].
While your average Prince has a pretty tough old time
fighting against the latest evil whilst remaining rather dashing it must be
said that the prince in this story has it pretty bad. How bad you ask? Well read on and find out.
