Snow White's beauty and kindness, as well as her tortuous and legendary life, are ingrained in each of us.
But in Neil Gaiman's pen, in Snow White Mirror Apple, snow white is actually a heinous vampire in the narrative of Snow White's stepmother, a witch.
Not only did she kill her own biological mother, but she also sucked her stepmother's blood and manipulated her. Her entanglement with her biological father is also reminiscent.
After the death of her father, her stepmother became queen. She dug out Snow White's heart and threw her into the forest.
The stepmother ruled the country, and she was a wise monarch. However, there are fewer and fewer forest dwellers, and social unrest begins. After investigation, the stepmother discovers that it was Snow White, who is still alive, who attacked and killed the foresters.
Driven by responsibility, the stepmother made a poisoned apple with her own blood and completed another murder of Snow White.
Unfortunately, the prince appeared. He succeeded in saving Snow White and marrying her. The stepmother was coated with goose oil and thrown into the kiln to burn.
This "Snow • Mirror • Apple" completely subverts the traditional impression. The stepmother of Snow White is written as a tragic character with love and responsibility and responsibility. The little princess in our minds is an executioner.
She killed her mother and father and slaughtered innocent forest dwellers. Colluding with the prince, he eventually sent his kind stepmother to the kiln and burned to death.
Such a bold and bizarre, absurd plot conception makes people secretly marvel. Breaking the inherent thinking mode, jumping out of the original classic story, and writing stories with such reverse thinking is not something that ordinary people can do.
In addition, there is another article that makes people's scalps tingle, "We can give you wholesale prices.")
Peter Pint is a man who likes to bargain. But also a normal man.
By chance, he discovered that his fiancée, Miss Gwendelyn Thorpe, had been fooling around with a greasy-tongued man.
It is intolerable, and love has made this man lose his mind. After a night of sleepless nights, he made the decision to get rid of the man.
But when he contacted the killer, he was told that if he killed one person it was five hundred pounds, two people would be four hundred and seventy-five pounds, and ten people could use a large discount of only four hundred and fifty pounds.
Upon hearing this, Peter was stunned. To get the discounts, he racked his brains to think of acquaintances who had a little problem with him: his department head, his physics teacher, the boy who threw paint on his head when he was five, a puppy, and even his uncle, Mervyn——— who was said to be rich and might leave him some inheritance after his death.
When contacting the killer again, Peter was told that if he killed a thousand people, it would be one person and one pound. Bold, shameless, arrogant ideas took over Peter's brain.
He thought he was going to kill everyone. Then he will become king of England.
Of course, such a decision also brought him ruin. After all, all people include himself.
Oh, my God! In order to take advantage of this little bit, Peter's murderous ambitions are getting bigger and bigger. The people who had offended him at the age of five, a puppy, and even a rich uncle, became the object of what he wanted to get rid of.
Later, blinded by greed, he wanted to kill everyone. In the end, he also became a wisp of wronged souls.
The idea of this novel is also quite peculiar. The idea of killing people at wholesale prices is really bizarre. From this article, we can see the greed, selfishness and arrogance of human nature.
