Question #2

In “The Robber Bridegroom” by the Brothers Grimm, the cleverness of the heroine’s character shines through at the wedding celebration when she reveals what she knows about the true character of her bridegroom, even though she reassures her finance “My dear, I must have been dreaming all this.” Having possessed all the desirable traits for a bride-to-be, she finally sets herself free when “confesses” that what she knows to be true by saying “And here is the ring with the finger.” Without being disobedient, the young maiden frees herself through her cleverness and initial intuition.
