The Tiger's Bride

The Tiger's Bride - Angela Carter

09.30.07


When some guy with a tiger's head says that he wants your daughter, what do you do?

Ah, but of course, gamble!


When the gambling turns out to be a bad move, however, and you lose your daughter, what do you do?

Ah, but of course, run away without giving a crap!

When the daughter is being "killed" and soon discovers that her skin has been hiding fur underneath it all this time, what do you do?

Ah, but of course, realize that one has run out of questions because this story is entirely metaphorical.


I was all wtf when the fur appeared. I mean, who wouldn't be? Perhaps the.. wait. I'm not exactly sure what the fur is meant to symbolize. It was, however, rather interesting to see what a man with a tiger's head would want to do with his/its life. All I know is that the father was a jerk-off.


Jerk-off. -_-"
