Quote [1]:

In late medieval times, Cinderella's slipper had been a fur one, not glass. And that was a euphemism, because (at least in the German version) the girls gave the prince their 'fur slipper' to try on... The story came to us through the French, and in that language 'verre' can either be 'glass' or 'fur'. The Grimm brothers went for the hygienic alternative, saving the parents the danger of embarrassing explanations.

Addition: The book also goes on to mention that Rumpelstiltskin is about female masturbation leading to sterility...

Cash · Post by **Cash** » Thu May 16, 2002 11:39 am

Could you?

Reply: OK

Quote [1]:

Rumplestiltskin was an interestingly sexual parable, too, a tale to programme the idea that female masturbation leads to sterility. Remember the tale? The miller's daughter, put in the barn to 'spin straw into gold', virginally sits on a little stick that becomes a little man... the denouncement has the little man, when his name is finally identified, jumping in to 'plug' the lady very intimately, and the assembled soldiers can't pull him out. In the modern bowdlerised version, this survives vestigially as the little man pushing his foot through the floor and not being able to pull it out, a total non-sequitur. So none of those concerned, king, miller or queen, can procreate (the stolen first child is killed by the soldiers), and it all ends in tears. If you doubt this interpretation, enjoy the indirection: 'What's in his name? What's in his name?' recurs in the story. What is his name? What is a stilt with a rumpled skin? Whoops.
