The Snow Child Flashcards
What does the count wish he had?
‘A girl as white as snow’
‘A girl as red as blood’
‘A girl as black as that bird’s feather’
What’s the Countess’ one thought?
‘How shall I be rid of her?’
The girl appears, describe her.
‘white skin, red mouth, black hair and stark naked’
What was she to the count and countess?
‘She was the child of his desire and the countess hated her’
The countess’ clothes all sprung onto the girl. How is the countess then described in comparison to the girl?
‘Bare as a bone and the girl furred and booted’
Finish the sentence: ‘so the girl picks a rose;
pricks her finger on the thorn; bleeds; screams; falls’
What happens to the girl after the count was finished?
‘Then the girl began to melt. Soon there was nothing left of her’
‘The countess has all her clothes on again’ but what happens when the count hands the rose to her?
‘“It bites!” she said.’
