    Men and woman today do not always follow their “designated” gender roles as they have in the past and this causes skepticism in the way society views them. This is represented In the story where there is change surrounding the innate nature of men to showcase violence, and unclothed women to stray from innocence.

    • 3 Pages

    For my fairy tale, I chose to read the story about “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. In this story, Goldilocks is harassed and frightened by the bears.

    characters in his tale concluded to be hypocrisy.
